Panda has been working on Cloud Antivirus for nearly three years, and it’s now available to the public in beta form. The application aims to leverage the power of the cloud to better and more quickly detect and analyze new threats as they appear - which can be done in as little as six minutes, according to Panda. Called “Collective Intelligence,” Panda’s system utilizes anonymous data from users running the application and processes about 50,000 new threats each day. In exchange for your participartion in Cloud, you’re given totally free virus protection for your personal computer (sorry, no commercial use). That’s a pretty good deal for a tool that is able to provide near-realtime detection and analysis. Temporarily off the ‘net?
