New free AV, Panda Cloud Antivirus

Looks like it's no longer in beta:
Panda Cloud Antivirus, The first free cloud antivirus against viruses, spyware, rootkits and adware
»www.cloudantivirus.com/en/
Haven't tested it, is here anyone running it?

The license is not posted anywhere, so I can't tell if it's free for everyone or just home users. You have to run the installer to read the license, crazy idea.

Such a shame about the spamming they have done in the past. Panda makes good products. Has the spamming issues improved/gone away?

Good question. I haven't seen any but I haven't gone anywhere near their site nor added them to my system. They are like poison to me due to their past spamming.

Was thinking on the same lines.
I wonder if they still spam you when you download their program.

You have to give them your email so they can send you your key, which is how they sucker you in with spam.

It looks they have changed their practice. I registered my email to use their Activescan and I don't get spam anymore. Few years ago I would get few mails a week and could not un-subscribe.

That's good to know. Thank you. They lost an awful lot of people due to their old practice.

Dunno if this guy honestly knows that he is doing (not saying that I do). Watching his Trend Micro review, he makes the following comment at 6:57 "I know that this is a rogue that nobody is detecting as of yet. It might be a rogue, it might not be a rogue, I'm not sure about it..." Which seems kind of scary to me.

Yeah that's the feeling I got also while watching him do his test. I didn't watch any of his other reviews. I think I wait for the remove-malware.com review before I give it a try.

Matt from remove-malware.com is pretty good about testing all a/v programs the same. Panda did pretty bad while it was in beta, so hopefully they saw this review and made some adjustments.

Until Avast 5 comes out of beta, go with MSE or Antivir.

I did a search for Matt's review of Panda Cloud. I also found the one he did on the beta. Almost the same results as the one done by languy.

I going to forget about Panda Cloud at this time. Looks like it might need some time to work the kinks out.

Rumor: Panda Security promised PC Mag and the WWF to adopt 1 panda for every 100 sold security product licenses..
