However, our review did find that “Panda’s app produced an impressive 99.4 percent overall detection rate.” Our own PCWorld testing in the summer of 2009 was unable to give a comprehensive score to the free Panda Cloud AV because the service was still new and feature incomplete, and the Panda scanning methodology used in the cloud did not fit with the testing model used by PCWorld. Because the signature updates and scanning are handled in the cloud, Panda Cloud AV guards against malware with minimum impact on PC performance.
This innovative security model can automatically analyze and classify thousands of new malware samples per day, guaranteeing corporate customers and home users the most effective protection against Internet threats. Panda Cloud AV takes advantage of the cloud with Panda’s Collective Intelligence technology. Panda Cloud Antivirus delivers malware protection that small and medium businesses need, and the price is right. Now, Panda Security is expanding the protection provided in the free version, and adding a Pro Edition with additional features and capabilities. Panda Security blazed new trails in PC security when it launched its free cloud-based antivirus protection last year.
