this free panda cloud antivirus doesn't provide web protection by scanning url,and no firewall on it,so for me its waist,while i like to use kaspersky 2010 or eset v4 there are best but paid,

@yaar333 - There are many better free apps and this is one that I would not rely on as it has reduced ability when offline and for online use Avast or Avira :-)

Great video! Best av free in market. Very light and easy use. Cloud Computing is the future. Bye!

[cotojo1253]

@aboynameddream - I wouldn't say it was the best AV as Avira and Avast perform better in the free versions. But, it's up to the individual user, what they want and what they are happy using :-)

very simple. maybe too simple

[cotojo1253]

@ Danerd9 - There is better, and cloud apps are somewhat limited :-)

4DarkAces - I agree. There is NO 100% security solution, and cloud based apps require an active connection, but malware can also break the connection. Using Sandboxie, HIPS which is included with Online Armor and a good antivirus installed the better security can be achieved. Educating users before the event is easier than cleaning up afterwards :-)

[4DarkAces]

Guys, listen, there is really no best... Even with an AV with high detection rates, it is not 100% safe. Newer malware will still be able to bypass. Your best bet will be to use a sandbox or a HIPS program. Even then, there might still be security holes that have not yet been fixed.

As for Panda, my guess is that if a malware happens to infiltrate Panda and shuts of you internet connection, you're doomed... Panda relies on internet connection for its detection, so as all Cloud-Based AVs...

VayneAurellius -Best AV? User choice as to what the user is happy using and what works for them. I use a layered approach - MSE, Avast 5 Beta, Threatfire, WinPatrol and OpenDNS..it works for me and I download a lot of malware and disable the protection to run it :-)

[cotojo1253]

VayneAurellius - Many viruses and trojans are becoming more devious in their methods and there will never be 100% security against these threats, but educating users can reduce the risks :-)
