Hello,

Adware is an advertising software
that allows the author to earn money from the ads that pop up.

Here, it seems more like a detection error if it's targeting Panda.

Please press any key to continue the disinfection...

Hello
thank you for your response as it sheds light on my situation and allows me to choose my course of action
It did seem a bit exaggerated to put uninstall panda in quarantine
