Panda has just released the final version of Panda Cloud Antivirus, the first antivirus software to be based on cloud technology. The virus scanning and updates are all done in the clouds and, therefore, provide the latest and most up-to-date virus protection instantly. Best of all, this offering from Panda is 100% free!

In an exchange with Downloadsquad , the Panda CEO had some interesting things to say about this latest entry into the anti-virus market. One statement in particular stood out:

The lack of an update button is where the cloud technology comes into play. The Cloud Antivirus connects to Pandas servers to be scanned; therefore virus definition updates are not needed as the security center is updated in real time.

What does this mean to the user?

• No need for manually updating your virus definitions
• Constantly having access to the latest updated virus, spyware and malware protection
• Extremely low memory footprint (It will not slow down your computer)

I am now running Panda Cloud Antivirus on my computer. If you are interested, visit the company website to download the program. As a heads up: you will need to register with an email address to have the complete Cloud Antivirus experience.
