External information from Paul Collins:

  • "ScanInicio": Part of Panda Anti-Virus. Responsible for scanning the boot sector of your disk and your memory at startup to check for viruses that try and load and act before your anti-virus is fully operational. It only adds a fraction of a second to start-up time and is worth leaving active

Important: Some malware camouflages itself as Inicio.exe, particularly when located in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Therefore, you should check the Inicio.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security.

Since it's part of the PANDA AV (etc.) system, one seems to NEED it tin order to use the PANDA program. I am into the 2nd year of using PAND and DO like it along with the freeware of AdAware and Windows Defender. I'll try the above scan and see what happens but if it treats this scan like the others, it won't do any good since it somehow 'prevents' scans from actually doing any "scanning"! I'm notivying PANDA about it as I've had it for over a month and it does seem to be growing and interfering in other areas of my New Dell Inspiron using Vista with SP2. Do a search on 'whatis.com' for several links regarding ANY IT problems.
