Countainer7b is scurvy dog
first of all potco is run by disney a fortune 500 company potco even as a basic member should be safe barring extremely unlikely circumstances. p3dpythonw.exe is panda 3d which is the game engine for potco and is free for all purposes (disney went all out with that one eh) this would normally be suspicious (with free/open source software there is normally a charge for commercial purposes) but in this case its not due to the fact that this has been safely used by everyone here (most likely). disney doesn't have a record of extortion so it shouldn't matter as far as the safety of your computer goes (if it did potco and the other disney online worlds would not exist due to lack of members and thus lack of profitability). If you block panda 3d with your firewall you won't be able to play potco there will be no virus (assuming you got panda 3d from disney). If by knocks out you mean causes your antivirus to crash i have no idea what happened (are you sure your antivirus is paid up). if your anti virus is causing panda 3d to crash or telling you to get rid of it is because as it is open source it has no confirmable publisher. you shouldn't pay for potco just because your afraid of getting a virus from it. If your going to pay for unlimited access it should be because you like the game and feel that the additional features justify the cost.
