The product has 50% less impact on PC performance compared to the industry average.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We believe that Panda Cloud Antivirus represents a quantum leap in protection over the traditional approach to antivirus architecture,&rdquo; says Jeremy Matthews, head of Panda&rsquo;s sub-Saharan operations. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Panda Cloud Antivirus offers consumers a truly install-and-forget solution that delivers the industry&rsquo;s fastest protection against the newest malware with literally half the performance impact. We&rsquo;re excited to make it available today for free, which is Panda&rsquo;s way of paying back to the community and growing our Collective Intelligence network so that we can deliver even greater protection to all customers.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>With Panda Cloud Antivirus, Panda Security is introducing a new protection model that utilizes a thin-client agent and server architecture which processes and blocks malware more efficiently than locally installed signature-based products. <\/p>\n<p>By moving the entire malware scanning and evaluation process to the cloud and applying non-intrusive interception techniques on the client architecture, Panda Cloud Antivirus provides protection against new and unknown viruses with a lightweight thin-client agent that barely consumes any PC resources. <\/p>\n<p>Panda Cloud Antivirus includes local and remote antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-rootkit, heuristics and goodware cache, while only consuming an average of 17 MB of RAM and 50 percent of the PC performance impact as compared to the industry average.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=170103\">Cloud Antivirus discussion<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panda Security launches world\u2019s first free cloud-based antivirus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-internet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7900"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7900\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
