Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition, the first free cloud-based antivirus, has achieved 100% detection rate in the Real World Protection test performed by AV-Comparatives.org recently.
AV-Comparatives' Real-World Protection Test is the most comprehensive and complex test available when it comes to evaluating the real-life protection capabilities of antivirus software. Panda Security achieved a perfect score, outperforming solutions from 19 other antivirus vendors.
The test replicates the scenario of an everyday user in an everyday online environment (Web sites with malicious content or exploits, execution of e-mail-borne viruses etc.), measuring the ability of security solutions to remove active threats. In this case, Panda Cloud Antivirus managed to detect and remove 100% of the malware it was exposed to.
"The excellent results obtained in AV-Comparatives' Real World test are very pleasing, as they recognise our efforts and success in offering products and technologies that adapt to malware evolution and respond to our customers' real needs," says Jeremy Matthews, Country Manager for Panda Security. "Our priority continues to be delivering maximum security through lightweight solutions with zero impact on system performance, thanks to our cloud-based malware scan and disinfection engine."
New version of Panda Cloud Antivirus now available
The latest version of Panda Cloud Antivirus, version 2.3, is now available. Compared with the previous version, this version provides even better performance, better support for Windows 8.1, as well as new anti-exploit capabilities against malware that exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in legitimate applications like Office, Adobe or Java to infect users.
Additionally, Panda Cloud Antivirus 2.3 includes the latest version of Panda Security Toolbar, and fixes some bugs reported by the user community through the Panda Cloud Antivirus Forum.
