McAfee Cloud AV - Have you tried it?

What are the mentioned "Premium" protections in the GUI compared to the free version?

The standard paid versions of McAfee consumer products.
Antivirus Software, Internet Security, Spyware and Malware Removal | McAfee

Ok, I thought Mcafee cloud free has premium version too.

Downloaded the cloud av. But have not tested it. Just another tool in the toolbox.

It's been a while so what are Your thoughts and feelings abut this product?

IMHO it's quite lightweight. Detection wise, well it's rat race in the AV field so running a 100 samples for comparison doesn't really prove much (but of course I'll expect a 95% detection at least!) lol.

Thanks for the update.
How much ever they improve, if they do not provide an improvised mechanism for quarantining and whitelisting the once-unquarantined files, it won't be convenient for normal users.
It's protection was average when I tested it twice against samples (two months ago). Will like to retry it sometime soon.
