If this is a complete program you have saved on your hard drive then you can just write it to a disk as "Data". If you don't have the actual program (with setup.exe file) then no you can't back it up.

If you have the original CD, then backing it up should be no problem. You generally cannot back up modern programs once they are installed, especially one that operates at the driver-level like anti-virus software: They also place files within the Windows directory and make essential registry modifications. So, as bbmayo pointed out, you'd need the setup data and thus the original disc.
-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

I have the original Panda Software Disc and want to make a Back-Up copy of it. The Panda program is currently what I use for Anti-Virus so now how do I go about Burning it from the Software Disc.
Can I use ImgBurn or any of the other programs like DvdFab etc.

Do you have Nero or Roxio if so put the disc in, but cancel the install open your burn program open up the source that should be your cd or dvd drive drag and drop all the files and burn baby burn. But if its a anti virus program its only good for a year or so it will time out and not do you any good. Check out A.V.G. they are free they update daliy I've used them for years never had a problem

WHAT i would get is clonecd,a 21 day free trial as it will copy any cd-program or music cd in a heart beat.
and while ye are at it look into AnyDVD and CloneDVD both free to try for 21 days which will burn 99.9% of all dvd movies out..

as i did answer your question,with clonecd..
you need a program that will copy the cd and then burn it..
nero,roxio and clonecd can do the job,
i did not know what HotBurn was,so i checked it out
TRY THAT ONE......

The HotBurn interface is so straightforward that making music or data CDs is completely intuitive and hassle-free. Just drag and drop files into the layout screen and click the Create CD button. Voila! On the PC you can drag and drop files to your CD burner without launching the HotBurn application, it also saves your files directly to your burner from within any application. Plus, HotBurn includes a handy label and jewel case editor, making labeling your collection as easy as making it.
