Panda Cloud Antivirus with firewall functionality from Panda Security is a free, first "cloud" program whose bot operation is based on real-time protection "from the cloud." It combines antivirus (remote and local), heuristic checks, anti-rootkit, anti-spyware, and goodware caching (harmless software).
The "cloud" new model of this antivirus features a "thin ultra-light client" installed locally on the PC, connected to the Panda server. Compared to a conventional locally installed antivirus (signature-based protection method), this antivirus method provides more effective detection and blocking of malware.
Panda's "thin client" uses "ultra-light" modern technologies to intercept malware, while using 50% less computer resources than traditional antiviruses. Computer protection is achieved with maximum performance. Maximum web protection is provided against "drive-by" malicious downloads and phishing sites.
