Panda Cloud Antivirus

If there is one thing that most antivirus programs have in common, it is the fact they must be updated on a regular basis, otherwise they will not be able to recognize the latest malware threats. Nowadays, cloud servers allow antivirus programs to work as usual, without the need for constant updates. Based on this technology, Panda Cloud Antivirus can protect your system against various threats, without using a significant amount of resources. You will barely notice this lightweight application, working in the background, but your system will be shielded from the latest threats that lurk on the Internet.

Panda Cloud Antivirus is distributed free of charge and you can upgrade it to a Pro version, if you want additional features. The application works on all modern Windows versions and it takes about a minute to install it. Unlike other similar utilities, Panda Cloud Antivirus will not ask you to reboot your computer when you complete the installation process.

The software provides a compact user interface, which is very easy to understand. It displays options for accessing the antivirus feature, firewall, processes manager and a USB vaccination feature. Clicking the lower right corner of the window will flip the interface, to reveal additional options, like parental control, data shield and boot rescue.

Like other antivirus programs on the market, Panda Cloud Antivirus allows you to perform a quick, full or custom scan. You may configure the antivirus to detect potentially unwanted programs, bock files until the results from the cloud come in, enable a behavioral analysis feature and much more. The built-in processes manager displays a security rating for all running processes, so you will know if there is something suspicious running on your computer or not. If you have doubts about a process, you can just select it and click a button to block it.

Other features can be used to disable the autorun feature on USB flash drives, to prevent infection from such devices, protect sensitive data from security breaches, block suspicious or inappropriate websites, to protect your children and more. The Rescue boot feature can be used to create a new boot option, which can be quite useful if a malware program is blocking your PC.
