Cloud AntiVirus
November 16th, 2009 by tgmaniac
There is a new concept in the AntiVirus field and it involves using servers accessed through the internet to do the heavy lifting instead of sucking resources from your desktop. Panda Security offers the first free cloud antivirus, spyware, adware, and rootkit detection. What this means is that Panda will handle all the updates and newest antivirus definitions on the server side and they give you a light weight application to scan local drives and run on access scanning. Never having to run updates and a client that doesn’t slow down a computer is always a plus but a downside is if you lose connection to the internet for whatever reason then you lose antivirus.
