Panda antivirus free (Windows XP (32-bit) SP3 or later)

It means your cpu doesn't support the SSE2 instruction set.
About all av's nowadays need it.

It certainly works on this system, see my signature, but it has XP Pro SP3 and the CPU supports SSE2.

The OP's CPU doesn't support SSE2.

Yes I only found that topic after posting in this one.

You should have installed SP3 and all (at least the security ones) updates after that.
But fact remains that you CPU is too old.

Actually it means the procedure entry point cannot be found.

I'm using an intel D525 processor on WinXP SP2. My processor does support SSE2 and I have the very same error.

Just thought you might like to know that.

The mentioned error has nothing to do with CPU capabilities.
It simply means that the new(er) version of Avast you are trying to install needs XP SP3 - it won't work on XP SP2 (because the specific procedure is not available there).

Which poses a problem for those of us who couldn't get XP with SP3 to run on a particular motherboard.
