No flashing red light or unneeded questions, that confuse the heck out of users. If virus is detected Panda only gives brief non-scary (important) popup in the corner and file is deleted. It doesn’t flood you in see-I-am-awesome junk, it gives you essentials.Įxperience seems to be tailored towards novice users. It is the most straightforward interface experience I remember in background antivirus monitors. Strong featuresĪs for me interface is strongest part. But there is also background service that hovers ~20MB when idle and can easily jump as high as 75-100MB. Interface process is indeed light, consuming as little as 4-5 megabytes of memory. Panda is often described in reviews as having light memory footprint. Few large buttons, clear explanations where needed, no confusing terms. Interface is done in fancy/minimalistic style. When connection is not available it relies on some amount of cached data. The main difference is that instead of regular database updates it checks for information about files online (I assume by transferring file hashes or something like that). What it doesĪs for main function this one is usual background monitor that sits in the tray and checks the files.

Panda Cloud Antivirus is (supposedly) light solution that uses constant Internet connection to improve on classic antivirus steps. So much of progress is focused on specifics of these steps.

See file, freeze, determine if it is malware, unfreeze or kill. There weren’t much functionality added to antivirus solutions in years.
