Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro Version and Improved Free Edition
Latest Releases of Panda Cloud Antivirus Deliver Superior Malware Protection with Minimal Impact on PC Performance
Panda Cloud Antivirus, the first and only cloud-based anti-malware service to protect home computer users both on- and off-line, has been upgraded and expanded. The upgrade of Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition improves and extends the protection provided by the original free product, and Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro is a brand new commercial version of the product that delivers expanded support services and automation capabilities for greater convenience. Both products, available for download at http://www.cloudantivirus.com/, set the standard in malware detection while consuming minimal PC resources.
“Since the debut of Panda Cloud Antivirus last year, nearly 10 million home users have selected the free service as their antivirus of choice,” said Pedro Bustamante, senior research advisor at Panda Security. “With today’s launch, we’ve created two options for users, both featuring major enhancements that make safeguarding your PC even easier and more transparent. The Free Edition gives users the best basic no-cost protection available on the market thanks to Panda’s cloud-based Collective Intelligence malware analysis technology, while the new Pro Edition offers more robust automated security capabilities and support at a very affordable price.”
Acknowledged as the first free “in the cloud” security service for home users, Panda Cloud Antivirus delivers instantaneous protection against real-world threats with next to no impact on computer performance. This minimal resource usage is a major benefit of Collective Intelligence, Panda’s proprietary technology for automatically collecting and processing millions of malware samples in the cloud instead of locally on the user’s PC. The result is efficient, accurate malware protection that consumes only 15MB of RAM, compared with 60MB for traditional signature-based antivirus products.
Collective Intelligence is proven to deliver superior detection against both known and unknown malware, or zero day threats. In a recent comparative test of leading free antivirus programs conducted by AV-Test.org for c’t Magazine, Panda Cloud Antivirus outperformed the average zero day detection score of the other products tested by 42.5 percent. Please see below for a table of Panda’s recent on-demand detection comparative scores: Read more
Panda Cloud Antivirus now compatible with Windows 7
Panda Security’s industry acclaimed free antivirus service, Panda Cloud Antivirus, has received Microsoft’s ‘Compatible with Windows 7′ certification after passing the company’s quality checks for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
Since the launch of Panda Cloud Antivirus on November 10, 2009, millions of users have enjoyed the simplest, most effective and easy-to-use protection on the market.
Panda Cloud Antivirus is the world’s first free antivirus service that provides real-time protection against the newest and most dangerous viruses. This level of protection is made possible because Panda gathers malware information from its global community of users in the cloud to automatically process malware strains in minutes, versus hours or even days compared to other products. Panda’s approach combines local detection technologies with real-time cloud scanning to maximize protection while significantly minimizing the impact on PC performance.
Panda Cloud Antivirus has recently won the PCMag.com Editor’s Choice Award for Best Free Antivirus, as well as top honors in PCWorld’s comparative review of free antivirus software. Panda Cloud Antivirus is available for download free of charge at www.cloudantivirus.com.
