Latest Version of Fastest Growing Cloud Antivirus Service on the Market Takes a Step Forward in Protecting Home Users' PCs
Panda Security, The Cloud Security Company, today announced the release of version 1.3 of Panda Cloud Antivirus, its anti-malware service for home users' computers. This version incorporates a new protection functionality against malicious websites, as well as improvements in the user experience in both its Free and Pro Versions. Users of the two Cloud Antivirus products will continue to benefit from panda's real-time protection and minimal resource consumption. Both products can be downloaded from http://www.cloudantivirus.com.
Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.3 adds a new layer of protection from the cloud to its Free and Pro Version, thanks to the addition of a new Web filtering functionality that blocks suspicious and malicious websites before they can exploit any vulnerability or cause damage to the user. In addition, users of the Free Version will be able to benefit from automatic and transparent updates to the latest versions of the program, a feature previously reserved for Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro users.
Always with the aim of improving the user experience of Web security solutions, Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.3 has eliminated the pop-up ads present in the Free Version, something that users of the Pro Version already enjoyed. The new version of both products also includes a new Recycle Bin and Quarantine, which simplify the management of identified security threats.
"At Panda Security we believe that every home user should be able to enjoy an excellent security solution, not only for their security, but also for the collective security of the entire online community," says Pedro Bustamante, Senior Research Advisor at Panda Security. "The Free Version of Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.3 continues to offer the best free protection on the market, now without advertisements, while the Pro Version remains a great investment in home security thanks to its reduced price."
The heart of Cloud Antivirus products is in Collective Intelligence, Panda's proprietary technology that automatically collects and processes millions of malware samples in the cloud. In a recent comparative study of the main free antivirus programs carried out by AV-Test.org in its 'Q2 Product Review and Certification Report', Panda Security's antivirus software won the first place, detecting 99.87% of the malware specimens used in the test, the best result of all the products evaluated.
