Panda Stoping Internet Explorer from opening .EXEs

Terminator14 · 09-04-2006, 06:34 AM

Sorry for posting about such small problems (this is my second post about Panda in the last 10 min) but I have a couple of minutes to fix these before I have to return this computer to it's owner (I'm fixing a guy's computer).

Anyway the thing is that Panda AntiVirus + Firewall 2007 is preventing Internet Explorer from opening any downloaded .exe files. You have to actually go to the place where they were saved and open them. This is probably going to bother the owner so I was wondering if it was possible to disable this feature. It is probably not even a threat since chances are, Panda scans any file downloaded or otherwise before it lets the user open them (am I wrong?). If this is the case how can I disable this feature?

Never did fix this annoyance. Sent the computer as is to the owner. He can figure it out on his own if it really bugs him.
