kenny and exile,,, will try those suggestions, much appreciate it. am going to try a couple of those a/v [one at a time] and get rid of panda, so much for that trial. kaspersky was one i was thinking about already. 9yr old wants a laptop for xmas and bestbuy offers kaspersky as an a/v option so id purchase the pro version there if i like it also exile i much appreciate your time and help.

thanx exile360 now that worked,, uninstalled panda,, ran the mwb update and ran a full scan . nothing new was found though after all that lol. my couple poker programs that wouldnt run or update worked fine. and i didnt notice before that spybot s/d wouldnt update either but now does so. for now i reinstalled panda, although the firewall still doesnt work, and am loking for a different virus scan and firewall,,, any suggestions?? my isp provides a mcafee based security suite that i might try [again] but i want to try something else first to see if i like better. i do appreciate all your help ,, if you ever have car troubles hit me up and ill try to return the favor thanx once again

did as instructed, ran the panda removal tool twice because it said it would reboot at the end but didnt,, rebooted,, ran ccleaner and its registry tool, reinstalled panda and still same thing,,, no firewall and 732 error on malwarebytes did finally get a response from panda,, email said "warning of confirmation of closing the incident" and "your case has been closed , you can reopen it" and "thanks for your help",,, thats all ive heard from them thanx once again exile

sorry it took a couple days to get back to this exile 360,,, im running panda security 2009, 90 day trial version w/ 18 days left. uninstalling and reinstalling didnt help. tried uninstalling and deleting all leftover files i could fine, reinstall, no luck. still no response from panda tech help either. also even tried reinstalling cable modem software, [panda says no connection sometimes but runs and updates]. also tried a restore point but it says "cant trestore to that date" on all dates i tried. thanx again

thanx exile360 thats what im going to try to do is reinstall panda. i know i dont use 2 firewalls, and the panda firewall is installed but it is always turned off, panda asks to turn it on, the reboot, and still off,,, so i leave windows firewall on for now. panda even said "conflicting firewalls, do you wish to use panda", but it turns off windows firewall and panda still wont turn on

yes i did enter them into the allowed programs list, but as i said earlier the panda firewall is not working correctly,, after entering them, i went back and they dont show. i also entered them into the windows xp firewall exceptions,, that didnt work either. am trying to contact panda support to help resolve the firewall issues. thanx again

just downloaded and installed the file you suggested,, restarted and ran a scan [nothing found], but it still gives the same error code when i try to update

thanx for the reply im currently using a 90 day trial of panda security 2009, no exclusions, the firewall function did quit working a couple weeks ago and am using the windows xp firewall. i did notice that a couple poker sites that i havent been to in a while also have the same problem, "update server not available" and "connectivity problem", although the one i usually go to connected and updated just fine. i also installed a new cable modem 2 months ago, might be why the older ones dont connect. will download and install the file you suggested thanx again

hi just installed malwarebytes and tried to update,, it gave me a 732 (0,0) error code?? i did run a scan and it found about 25 items that it removed, then i did as a post on here suggested, "click on automatically detect settings" iand it still gives same eror code thanx for the help
