Panda Security recently released Cloud Antivirus Beta, which is the first full-featured cloud-based antivirus software. It offers various features that make it unique and stand out from their other competitors on the market.

As reported from Cnet, Cloud Antivirus beta will perform two main tasks on your desktop PC or laptop. The first is prioritizing threats based on type and secondly, reducing the work load that that security programs place on your system resources by moving definition files to a community-based cloud.

Cnet performed a test to see how Panda’s Cloud Antivirus would handle the results. They used a ThinkPad T42 with a 1.7 GHz Pentium M chip, 1.5 GB RAM, and running Windows XP SP2. They concluded that Cloud Antivirus used about 23 MB of RAM when idle.

If you’re in need of a new antivirus solution and are willing to try out a different approach, why not try out this Cloud-based program.
