Cloud Computing

Thanks to Collective Intelligence, based on Cloud Technology, the Panda Security products proactively protect from the onset without having to wait for updates of the malware signature file as traditional antivirus software does. Additionally, Panda’s products leverage the Cloud’s ‘unlimited’ capacity to store knowledge.

Every day, Panda Security receives and analyzes some 73,000 malware samples which are automatically classified by Panda’s Collective Intelligence. Collective Intelligence prevents excessive consumption of PC memory/resources as most technologies are hosted in the Cloud (Internet). All processes take place online and automatically on Panda’s servers! Therefore, there is no impact on computer resources.

Cloud Computing is different

Always updated, always protected!
Panda Cloud technology is a set of technologies (Collective intelligence) capable of automatically analyzing, classifying and disinfecting new malware strains automatically without human intervention. We protect users in real time.

Light protection with minimum impact in your PC
Panda Cloud technology is a major technological advance for combating all types of threats. Previously, antivirus products relied on periodic updates to protect against new threats which were effective when there were a small number of threats in circulation that could be processed manually by laboratory technicians. However, today, the amount of malware is growing exponentially so this approach is no longer possible.

The Detection capacity is not limited by your PC
In this context, Panda Cloud technology complements the traditional technologies of antivirus products in order to effectively deal with the enormous amount of threats in circulation.

This is why Panda customers keep their PCs protected from all threats.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speed demon and eagle eyed 27 July 2011

By SNGC

Installed Panda on my Acer laptop instead of the pre-installed McAfee it came with and the speed difference was very noticible.

It also detected some suspicious files that the previous antivirus missed.

The interface is easy to use without being anything to write home about.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not great 25 Oct 2012

By AMR

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

I've used quite a few anti-viruses now, with my most recent being Kaspersky which I was very happy with, but Panda Internet Security has not been a good experience.

After I installed it my general internet browsing seemed to slow quite a lot and my browser started freezing up when I had multiple tabs open. I decided to check my broadband speed through a broadband speed test website I found that it had more than halved, going from 35mb/s to less than 15mb/s. I then tried disabling each element of Panda's protection and testing my speed again to see if something was causing a problem but it didn't improve. Only when I uninstalled Panda did my broadband speed go back to normal and the problems with my browser disappeared.

The next day I decided to reinstall Panda to see if there was something more I could try. I tested my broadband speed before installing it - 35mb/s, and then again after installing it, and again it had roughly halved it. However I then tried a different website to test my broadband speed and found that it actually showed a better than normal speed at around 38mb/s. I had no clue why this was happening until I read a review here on amazon about Panda causing Shockwave to crash and sure enough the original speed testing website I used uses Shockwave while the latter one uses Flash. I wasn't even aware there was any real difference in these two bits of software but I found out that Shockwave is slightly more advanced and has more features.

So the fact that Panda has some sort of problem with Shockwave means it has a problem with internet browsing in general because Shockwave is embedded in over half of all internet sites apparently.

Apart from this major defect Panda IS 2012 does seem to be a fairly decent anti-virus, primarily as it has very low CPU and memory usage. On idle it uses less than half a megabyte of memory and no CPU power at all seemingly. While scanning it used 25% CPU usage (of my i5 2500k) and about 60mb of memory and finished 115gb of SSD space in about 20 minutes.

Overall though the problem it seems to have with Shockwave makes Panda IS 2012 an inferior and defective product as it has made internet browsing a lot slower and more troublesome. I'll be keeping it on my computer only until I get a renewal of Kaspersky IS.
