MADRID, July 20 -- Panda Security (http://www.pandasecurity.com), The Cloud
Security Company, today announced the general availability of the Beta2 version
of Panda Cloud Antivirus (http://www.cloudantivirus.com), the industry’s
first and only free, thin-client, cloud-based antivirus which halves the impact
on computer performance compared with traditional antivirus products. Users can
download this new version for free from http://www.cloudantivirus.com or visit
the official developer blog at http://blog.cloudantivirus.com.
Since its original launch on April 29, and with the participation of the
product’s user community, more than three million new malware samples have
been received at PandaLabs. This knowledge has been compiled and returned to the
community in the form of greater protection, and has contributed to an even
faster response time from Panda’s proprietary Collective Intelligence
(http://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/collective-intelligence)
system. Each new file received by Collective Intelligence is classified
automatically within six minutes.
Panda Cloud Antivirus includes local and remote antivirus protection, as well
as anti-spyware, anti-rootkit, heuristic scanning and a goodware cache. On
average, it consumes just 17 MB of RAM, and ensures a 50 percent improvement in
computer performance compared to traditional antivirus products. To see a video

Panda Cloud Antivirus represents a new security model based on ultra-light
client/server architecture to process and block malware more effectively and
efficiently than traditional products that rely on locally installed signature
files. By shifting the process of analyzing and identifying malware

applying non-intrusive interception techniques in client architecture, Panda
Cloud Antivirus delivers advanced protection against new and unknown viruses
with an extremely light, resource-friendly agent.
