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:
http://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/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 for c’t Magazine, Panda Cloud Antivirus outperformed the average zero day detection score of the other products tested by 42.5 percent.
Panda Cloud Antivirus, now available in 20 languages, has been lauded by PCMag, PC World, CNET &
SCF as the first free anti-virus product completely built on a cloud infrastructure. Panda’s innovative reverse signature analysis approach, which feeds information about goodware and malware characteristics to the Collective Intelligence database, ensures rapid scanning for the newest and most dangerous malware.
