    HI all,
    have this running in Win 7 32 bit;
    I used to have the PerfectDisk defragger installed about a year ago.
    I was looking through c:\program files\ found the Raxco\perfectdisk folder
    along with the files necessary to reinstall PD.

    During reinstall Panda complained about InstallPD.exe and a couple of others that
    were related to PD. It put these files in Quarantine - messed up the install so I ended up
    stopping the A/V and did a "repair" install from "programs and features". Did a boot defrag and
    uninstalled.

    I submitted the files to virustotal.com and they were clean, even by Panda themselves.
    What was the problem? Was it because I was running the install out of \program files ?

    It would be helpful to know, what Panda detected them as.

    Yes there is an .msi. The setup is two folders 32 and 64 bit and in the parent folder, installPD.exe
    I could just as easily opened the 32 bit folder and installed from the .msi file

    In Virustotal Panda said the files were clean as I intimated in my original post

    I may move the files to a c:\user\my_user\ sub directory and install from there to see if it affects the situation
