Unless you have a computer that is 2gh or faster you should not run a antivirus programs, because longhorn already takes up an huge amout of memory.

You could always try setting the compatibility to "XP" in the properties dialog for the setup/installation application. Just to note, there are a few anti-virus incompatibilities with Longhorn. I personally use Kerio Personal Firewall along with it's anti-virus protection, which works extremely well with LH's networking incompatibilities/booboos.

I have not tested Panda Platinum 7 in LH yet, but my suggestion is if the tweaking of running the compatibility emulator in LH doesn't work on the setup application, then just try an entirely new anti-virus software.
