Panda Cloud Anti-Virus
Presented by: Charlie Le Ber
This program is too good to delay until the final version is offered.
You can find the program on the June USB Stick and website.
It can automatically identify and classify new malware strains in almost real time.
Features of Panda Cloud:
- Data base is on Panda servers. This means that 50% less or your PC resources are needed.
- No updates to download, no configuration - just "install it and forget it"
- Only executable (program) files are sent to Panda, not your data files
- Six minutes for new virus protection, not 48 days
- Deletes tracking cookies without asking but seems to leave the cookies you need
- Deletes threats without asking, suspicious files are quarantined but can be unblocked.
- Only a language option provided, very user friendly install.
This is a beta (test) version of the program but a very good one.
The Tech Support Team recommends it.

Question: Does Windows recognize it? Yes. Question: Does Panda check e-mail? Yes, because it checks all attachments as they are written on your hard drive.
When installed, the program will scan all your program files in the background. Also, it will look at data coming from websites and from new programs you install, in real-time. Question: If you turn off the computer at night will the program start again the next day? Yes, it starts automatically with boot-up. Question: Do you have to be on line all the time to get these benefits? No a local cache copy is on your computer. Charlie then demonstrated how to install Panda Cloud from the Memory Stick.
