Mike, my Panda will not do a deep scan, key is greyed out. Do you have to open an acount to do this? I did connect to internet to do it, but key stayed grey. It does the quick scan

You just need to register. The only info. that needs to be valid is your email address. The rest can be made up if you don't want to leave your real details.
