I going through registry deleting all occurance of the word "panda" relating  
  
to the AV product.  However their are certain instances where this is  
  
impossible i.e when it hits "LEGACY_.....".  In XP one could change  
  
permissions to enable delete (right click of mouse).  How is the done in 2000  
  
???

First, and in my opinion, deleting all keys and values containing  
  
"panda" is not a very safe thing to do.  Hope you have a full  
  
registry backup (*not* an "Export")  
  
To answer for W2K you need to use the regedt32.exe registry editor to  
  
alter registry ACLs and ownership.  
  
Further if this is a CCS\...\ENUM\Root\LEGACY_* key, you do not need  
  
to delete it and it is safer if you don't edit in this area.  Having  
  
said that, I think that regedt32 will do the trick for you.

While we are on the subject of Legacy keys, can someone explain their  
  
purpose and why you cannot delete them with Regedit.

They are the boot time enumeration of "legacy" (non-PnP) drivers for  
  
the system.  As they are created these keys inherit ACLs from the  
  
parent key (which only allow DELETE from the SYSTEM account and thus  
  
cannot be deleted directly from the registry by an Administrator).  
  
Use the Device Manager interface (devmgmt.msc) instead.  This is both  
  
easier and *safer*.
