What sets Panda Cloud Antivirus apart from its competitors is in the name: the cloud. The program primarily uses cloud computing, meaning remote servers carry the weight of scanning and carrying out various antivirus and anti-spyware functions so your computer doesn’t have to. The software is relatively lightweight — it doesn’t require much in the way of resources — and runs off a local cache when the network is unavailable. It also provides options for URL and Web filtering along with optimized and custom scanning to isolate specific folders and files. Moreover, the software features automatic USB vaccination designed to help protect against potentially harmful files found in portable storage devices, along with the ability to create a rescue USB drive for booting an infected PC. It doesn’t get much simpler than Panda Cloud Antivirus, but simplicity sometimes comes at a cost; the software is notorious for bogging down your system and often requires a substantial amount of time when attempting to clean an infected system.
Despite fairly impressive detection rates and top-notch rootkit blocking, the program isn’t the most skilled when it comes to eradicating malware on infected systems, especially during offline use. However, it works rather well at preventing infections once installed on a clean system, while offering a wealth of tools should Panda Cloud Antivirus prove feeble at ridding your system of potential threats. The ad-free premium version ($30) additionally offers a bevy of enhanced features for those seeking advanced security features within the program’s metro-style interface, as well as multilingual tech support and a community firewall. Just be on the lookout for browser hijackers, unwanted toolbars, and other bloatware during installation.
