Panda Antivirus Tweak

snappieT

I have Panda Antivirus Platinum 7 (their latest high end suite)

My problem: Panda had the great idea of sticking a stupid panda icon in the bottom right of your logon and shutdown screens: I hate it.
Does anybody have a way to get rid of this? I've done a google search on it already, without any success, and the icon isn't in the Panda directory (as a .ico anyway)

Thanks in advance.


PS: I am confident in editing the registry, if that's required

Its probably a case that Panda just replaces the default Windows splash screen with its own, so here's some options to changing it:

No, there not replacing the splash screen, it is just a tiny picture in the bottom right of the screen. It serves a purpose thought; it lets you know when panda is loaded into memory (i.e. when windows starts), if you get rid of it then you won’t know if panda is one of the first program to load, which is a security problem on your behalf. I am using panda as well, I think that its an excellent AV suit so my advice is while its doing a good job just leave it.

I'd rather get rid of it. Whatever resolution I'm working at; it looks stupid when the animation of the username into the centre of the screen happens.

I'd just like advice on how to get rid of it - not if I should

Thanks anyway jessy & Fenster
