The new Panda Cloud Antivirus 2.9 BETA is here!

[lordman]

We have made some really important changes to the product and we’d like to show it to you first, before we officially release the new Panda Cloud Antivirus 3.0.

Beta versions are the best way to collect feedback and receive your suggestions so that we can develop the Panda Cloud Antivirus that best satisfies your needs. That’s why we’d like to encourage you to test this new Beta version and help us improve!

You can download the beta from http://acs.pandasoftware.com/cloudantivirus/beta29/PandaCloudAntivirus.exe

These are some of the new improvements included in the 2.9 Beta:

Entirely new look & feel. More modern, more intuitive. Easier than ever. Play with it, add/remove modules and customize it to suit your needs.

New Wi-Fi Monitor. Find out if someone is stealing your Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi monitor shows a list of all devices that are currently connected to your network, helping you discover if there is an intruder on your Wi-Fi network.

Lighter and more secure than ever. As you already know, our obsession is to improve protection capabilities and product performance with every new version. This Beta is no exception. We are aware that we need to continue evolving Panda Cloud Antivirus to confirm the exceptional results obtained in the latest comparative tests and, most importantly, to keep your trust.

As Panda Community members you can influence the way Panda Cloud Antivirus evolves and protects more than 30 million users all over the world.

BIG THANKS for helping us improve Panda Cloud Antivirus!

In this beta version, did Panda get improvements in malware detection & removal rate? how about it's zero day protection? did it improved? thnx

 

[Ink]

No one can answer that until the final product is released, but they do appear to be committed to provide top protection. View the changelog for what's new.

 

[Koroke San]

I already viewed it. i only like " New Wi-Fi Monitor ". if it's detection & removal rate not increased then no useful for me.

 

[Petrovic]

Nor any technological breakthroughs)), the same toolbar, the same panda

Off-topic:
If you're looking for 99.99% protection and removal, you'll be sadly disappointed, as an AV alone cannot provide those levels of protection.

Also as a PC user, I'd rather spend more time learning the dangers of the web and how to avoid falling a victim to scams, malware or other online risks, instead of sorting after who has the highest detection rates.

Operating machinery is dangerous, but acknowledging the warnings and taking precautions, you can minimise the risk of injury.

First, I didn't said 99% removal or detection rate in any of my comments. I saw last review of Panda cloud AV & it perform not so good specially the behaviour blocker compare to other AV. Panda did improve it's web guard protection. I was just asking him to know if they really gonna improved in official version 3.0 If panda didn't then it's better to use free version of qihoo 360 which outperform panda. Anyways, keep going Panda

For new systems - win 8 & 8.1 is not relevant
It is a business, not more ..

AV Comparatives show good stats for Panda.. So is it fine to believe them? If the above is true...

I just switched to Panda Cloud Pro from Comodo IS.. Omg..!! Is it a big mistake?

The main change in version 2.9.1 (Beta 2) has become a new feature - integration with My Account. Web panel allows you to manage all the products and licenses Panda Security.

So............ Panda what is the point in detecting threats you do not block and still let run apon detection? I really hope this is a beta Problem only. Because detected threats are allowed to run. See attached screen shot.

 

[ginzon]

OMG..!!!
Have to uninstall Panda soon

 

[Guest28]

Just installed the regular version of panda and the same thing. The file was detected but not stopped. They have the detection rate but no way to block files lol....

 

[ginzon]

So they collect data on cloud for their Global Protection Suite
And people feel they are protected...

Btw even Pro version is the same? I have Pro..
