The Insides of Panda Cloud Antivirus
Not long ago Panda released its Panda Cloud Antivirus product, thus marking a shift in the paradigm of malware detection and removal. Even if in beta, it quickly gained popularity among users thanks to its connection to Collective Intelligence, a huge database of malware signature files. Based on the concept of cloud computing, this innovative approach yields remarkable results in both efficiency and impact on resource consumption.
The application is intelligent and has been designed to act only when necessary taking fast action in detecting and eliminating malware on your machine without affecting the performance of the system. However, after testing the beta version of this new antivirus model, we were still left with a lot of questions about its inner-workings, as well as Panda’s future plans for it.
Panda Cloud Antivirus is a great solution for low-end PCs thanks to its modest use of system resources. Its connection to the Collective Intelligence makes it one of the best protection agents on the market. What would happen if more and more Panda users switched from the paid product that collects the malware from individual PCs and sends it to the cloud, to Panda Cloud Antivirus? How would this affect the cloud and the files it gets? Would this diminish malware detection?
Actually both products work very similar in that respect. Both incorporate from-the-cloud scanning and both send statistics and files to be analyzed remotely. So in that respect the Collective Intelligence and its malware detection capabilities would not be affected at all. The main differences are that Cloud Antivirus has a new agent architecture whose on-access is connected in real-time against Collective Intelligence, while the Panda paid products are complete security suites which include firewall, anti-spam, parental control, identity protection filters, anti-phishing, online and local backup, tuneup, technical support, etc.
