Antivirus in the Cloud – Panda Cloud Antivirus

by Ben Hathaway on April 29, 2009 · 0 comments

PandaLab’s released its free cloud-based antivirus thin-client to public beta today.

It consists of a lightweight antivirus agent that is connected in real-time to PandaLabs’ Collective Intelligence servers to protect faster against the newest malware variants while barely impacting PC performance.

This is a fresh approach to antivirus software. They built a lightweight antivirus application instead of the usual antivirus application that hogs system resources in order to protect your computer. However, the lightweight feature is not the most intriguing part of this but rather the cloud-based approach. This allows your system to always be protecting against the latest threats.

Thanks to Panda Security’s Collective Intelligence malware and goodware online database, Panda Cloud Antivirus detects more malware than traditional signature-based solutions which take longer to detect the most recent, and therefore most dangerous, variants.

You can read more about this on Panda’s blog post about the public beta release.
