Panda Cloud Antivirus is the first free cloud-based antivirus thin-client. It consists of a lightweight antivirus agent that is connected in real-time to PandaLabs' online Collective Intelligence servers to protect faster against the newest malware variants while barely impacting PC performance. Thanks to Panda Security's Collective Intelligence malware and goodware online database, Panda Cloud Antivirus detects more malware than traditional signature-based solutions which take longer to detect the most recent, and therefore most dangerous, variants. Panda Cloud Antivirus protects you while you browse, play or work and you won't even notice it. It is extremely light as all the work is done online in the cloud. Panda Cloud Antivirus provides you with the fastest protection against the newest viruses thanks to its cloud-scanning from PandaLabs' servers. Panda Cloud Antivirus is truly install and forget. Don't worry about updates, configuration or complicated decisions ever again.

    This is a very good program with even further potential for improvement. HOWEVER, until release 1.00 all you had to do was install it and away it went. Now, to install it you need to submit an email address and password then verify by clicking on the email they send you. I consider this to be a very serious error in judgement by the techies at Panda ! This long drawn out installation will now stop the vast majority of computer technicians etc from installing it on customers' machines. Silly mistake boys - its back to AVG and Avast for me !!!

    I've been using this on several computers for some time now, and I love it. The lack of 64-bit support sucks, but I was in touch with a company rep about it and it will be added in the future. This latest version supports Windows 7, and I have no intention of using any other free AV package for any of my 32-bit installs.

    "Wow Factor" We run(used to) Avast4.8@home until yesterday. Having installed the Panda Cloud,it's freed memory,and save the first 30 minutes trying to settle in has been ZERO HEADACHE. I highly recommend this freeware to anyone with xp home, it is a real treat and the detection rate is high. My copy killed 1 running virus Avast was missing and a full scan picked up 2 trojans and a tracking cookie from go.com in my thunderbird email program. Total thumbs up here!

    With MS Security Essentials released, this feature-light app has really become irrelevant now. No 64-bit support? Fail.

    maybe a good choice for older computers, but otherwise i will use Avast.
