pavsched.exe is it a virus

[PinkShell]

Hi friends,

Today when i started my computer for sending some important emails to my client , when i try to connect my computer i was not able to open Internet explorer when i try to check out in process tab i found out that pavsched.exe is taking highest memory, when try to kill that process i got some message which i right now don't remember. My question is that a virus if not then can anyone provide me some more information about it and i have install Windows XP SP 2 as my Operating system.

No it's not an virus this process is related to Panda AntiVirus software which protects your computer from Internet bound threats such as trojans and worms. I would recommend you should not disabled pavsched.exe, because it is required for essential applications to work properly. This will prevent damage to your computer's registry could be compromising your PC's performance and causing system slow-downs and crashes.
