Softpedia Editor's Review for Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition
|
First free cloud-based antivirus with less impact on PC performance.
Written by Bogdan Popa on October 28th, 2011
Panda is already a well-known name in the security software market, so a freeware solution should sound pretty great, isn’t it?
Well, that’s only up to you because the new Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition comes to bring users the possibility to keep their computers clean at absolutely no cost.
Thanks to the so-called Collective Intelligence feature, the antivirus is capable of scanning the computer while remaining incredibly light on hardware resources, not to mention that its detection rate has grown significantly.
What really impressed us during our testing was the way Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition managed to flirt with computer resources because it was still running in the System Tray without hampering the CPU and the RAM at all.
Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition protects your data against multiple types of malware, so you will be fully secure when it comes to viruses, Trojan horses, adware, spyware and many other infected tools.
The interface is quite pleasant and eye candy, just the way it’s supposed to be when talking about an antivirus. You can easily start a scan, view reports concerning your previous scans, play a little bit with its settings, all these with a single click from the main window.
All in all, Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition is a completely different product from the ones we’ve seen wearing the same Panda badge. It works amazingly fast, it’s efficient and won’t bother you at all.
