Cloud Antivirus 1.0 Final Release
Panda Cloud Antivirus Beta is finished. Version 1.0 is finally here!
First of many thanks to the millions of beta testers and specifically to those who have given us feedback and helped improve the product. We think we have fixed all the issues you have reported.
If you have any of the previous versions installed (Beta1, Beta2 or Beta3) do the following:
1- Uninstall your current version.
2- Reboot your computer.
3- Download version 1.0 from http://www.cloudantivirus.com and install.
4- If you already have an account from Beta3, you can use the same one. Otherwise the installer will prompt you to create a Cloud Antivirus account.
As a reminder, don’t forget to use the Panda Cloud Antivirus Technical Support Forum for posting any issues you might experience.
Thanks again for helping us create this great free antivirus !!! 
@yuping, @AleXX, @Verle, @K-bot & @saji easow please post any issues you might have at our tech support forum at http://www.cloudantivirus.com/forum
@TTTAOa yes there is a chinese version. Download version 1.0 from http://www.cloudantivirus.com and during the install select Chinese.
@Mechelle & @ryanfiter Yes Panda Cloud Antivirus supports 64bits Vista & Windows 7 since Beta3 Preview.
Panda Cloud is coming along well, and does its job on my XP Pro, and an older machine. We need to watch for an emerging competitor out there call Immunet Protect. I’ve looked at it. It’s gaining ground and apparently stops everything. Advanced configuration would be a plus for Panda Cloud, I think.
@Francisco Thanks for the heads-up. Also please vote for the features you would like to see in the next versions of Panda Cloud Antivirus at:

Panda cloud antivirus is very good.
i was worried earlier in your beta versions concerning compatibility with certain firewalls i tested. the only one that refused panda cloud was comodo firewall on certain aspects. it seems that problem is now fixed! also i notice that panda cloud is doing a great job not hogging my resources, and even dialup works perfectly with your program. i have alot of tweaking gadgets installed, and everything is running smoothly. when i disable panda cloud i would like to see ZERO NET ACTIVITY..this is the only problem i have..thanks sincerly mike
Great news: Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.0 is the PCMag Editors’ Choice
[quote]Panda Cloud Antivirus is impressively effective at keeping malware from infesting a clean system. It’s less effective at fixing an infested system—it finds almost all the threats but doesn’t always clean them up thoroughly. Still, it’s a very good, very lightweight tool even when measured against the for-pay security antivirus available. And it’s the best free antivirus software available. If you’re going to use it, I’d just recommend making extra certain that you’re not already infected before you install it. Wipe your machine: start with a clean install of your OS, and Panda should do an excellent job of keeping viruses out. And Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition 1.0 is our Editors’ Choice for free antivirus.

Congratulations!!
how can i disable background scan in windows 7?
@Amauri Thanks for the link !
@mike no BackgroundScan anymore in Beta3 nor Version 1.0. Only a small memory scan right after install. You should not notice it any more after a little time after install.
Does it work fine with other security programs like superantispyware,malwarebyte’s and comodo internet security? and should I install comodo whole suite or just the firewall?
@Hakimy Just as with any other AV product, you should not have 2 AV products installed at the same time. With that in mind, running it with MBAM real-time protection or Comodo IS or any other IS is not a good idea. Try running it alongside other stand-alone apps (just firewall, just on-demand MBAM, etc.).
Hi, Pedro,
Just now I finished reading your old interview at Softpedia (May 16), and I think it’s very interesting for those people who want to know how Cloud Antivirus and Collective Intelligence work - it’s better than any technical explanation posted here. This is the link (found in Wikipedia):
http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-Insides-of-Panda-Cloud-Antivirus-111793.shtml
I have submitted a small number of undetected malware samples. I used the email addresses that are mentioned in the forum.
How long does it take for samples that are submitted this way to be added to the database?
Thanks.
@guest Depends on the type of malware, but usually within a few hours max. If you still see any of the samples undetected let me know.
This was a recent test that maleware research group did on the top av/security products. Project 3 testing.
I sent three samples two or three days ago. Hopefully I did everything correctly.
Anyway, they are undetected at the moment.
This is one of them:

What should I do? Resend?
There seems to be no such address as http://www.cloudantivirus.com. Road Runner intercepts it, and says it can’t find it.
Seems to be corrected now. Redirects to ttp://www.cloudantivirus.com/en. Apparently, the “/en” is important.
Should be “http…” of course.
does cloud anti-virus have anti-spyware bulit in it just asking before i download it thank you
@Dan Brown Panda Cloud AV is a full-blown AV, so you cannot install it alongside other full-blown AV solutions. You may however install it alongside other security apps (sandboxes, HIPS, etc.).
in fact you know,if i install panda cloud av frist every thing goes ok~why？
Hola, Panda Cloud.ES lo mejor que hay! y lo mas recomendado para netbooks !! no hay palabras para decir lo maravilloso que es este antivirus! Esto es el futuro…
Guillermo Villalba, Asuncion ; Paraguay!
A nice anti virus!but is there any real time protection?
Hey Pedro.. Your cloud Antiviris is very Good. I like it very much..
but my dear frend there is a small issue, some of my .exe files(programs) like ‘BandwidthMoniter’,'Ramcleaner’,etc are nutralized by panda. Do u hav any solution for this?
@Wd Yes absolutely. It detects and disinfects virus, trojans, backdoors, worms, adware, spyware, rootkits, etc.
@farzin dabiri Yes of course Panda Cloud Antivirus is a full antivirus solution, with real-time protection as well as on-demand scans.
@Nizam Simply go to the Recycle Bin (click on lower right corner) and unblock these. If you cannot find it there, go to “Can’t find what you’re looking for?” link in the Recycle Bin.
Dear Team
Good work
i love you mmmmmmoooooaaaaaaaah.
but i need it by arabic.
thank you.
Having trouble with account activation. Didn’t receive e-mail to activate my account. Please advise on required action and thanks.
how to delete virus’s with tihs av.
@Mark Kubicki Please send me (pedro.bustamante@pandasecurity.com) your email address and we’ll activate it manually.
@ganesh Panda Cloud Antivirus automatically disinfects and deletes viruses and malware, so you don’t need to worry about how to delete.
Only with suspicious (heuristic detection) and potentially unwanted applications, they go for some time to the Recycle Bin (from CloudAV, click on bottom-right corner to flip the screen and show Recycle Bin). From Recycle Bin you can restore any of these detections if you want. If you want to completely delete them, simply use the shortcut CTRL-SHIFT-D.
antivirus was expired and i was reinstalled as the sugesstion..plz advise the step to active back the antivirus
i also has register
Panda Cloud The best Antivirus. Thank’s Pedro Bustamante.

Does Panda Cloud do automatic virus scans?
so far so good,i have been using panda cloud the whole of this year because its the best so far, i however have a problem in activating the new panda cloud beta, i cant even create my user account, why???
@Chris Yes Chris, if you are referring to real-time protection, it is included.
@Henry Marquaye what error are you receiving exactly?
when i try to install the panda antivirus an unninstalation is needed it says find uncompatible components ms redist i click unninstall and it says ms redist needs to be launch through settup and settup ends :S what should/can do ?
How do I get an acount to start the anti virus?
@erimtana Post the failed installation log in the support forums (http://www.cloudantivirus.com/forum) to get a solution. But it sounds like there are still traces left from a previous AV install. Check here for uninstallers before you try installing PCA again:

@CFCS Simply go to http://www.cloudantivirus.com and register for a free account.
Why panda cloud not have update manager like another antivirus?
@Kevin Aprilio Because it doesn’t need to be updated like other antivirus. As it works in-the-cloud in real-time, it is always up-to-date with the latest information on malware.
In my PC Cloud AV 1.0 used to working well. But now it doesn’t start automatically at windows start up and when i try to start it manually it gives me the following error: “Unexpected error. Error code 11.” in a cloud AV style error window.
windows 7 Ultimate x86, Athlon 64 X2
Help me on how to update my Panda Anti Virus, since it has been showing that it can protected my System again or help me to update Panda Anti Virus
@navid you can find the fix for this in the support forum:
http://www.cloudantivirus.com/forum/thread.jspa?threadID=51898&tstart=0
@Oshoja Adebayo If you have installed the beta version, make sure to uninstall it and then download the final version 1.0 from http://www.cloudantivirus.com
pedro, i have a few comments about this software. first, in regards to a comment you made on the blog about the common misconceptions about cloud-based antivirus solutions, you say that only the circulating viruses are sent as part of the cache, which means that win98 and DOS viruses are not detected. i realize that Panda Cloud antivirus is not compatible with win98 machines, however, from the gaming perspective, as well as low-level tech support perspective, i know that win98 has it’s purpose. i have a rig meant for old games that no longer run on modern systems. it runs 98. i am required to use avast (a poor excuse for antivirus) to protect it. i would rather use on av solution to protect all the systems on the network.
Second: in regards to schedualed scans, is the system capable of such a thing? it would provide far more protection if Coud AV did regular, auto-scanning at a pre-determined time.
and third: as a support tech, i know for a fact that the microsoft antivirus 2009 trojan is a huge threat. all computers i have seen it on have had major issues, including .exe files no longer being recognized. while i know that this is a huge threat, many people are smart enough that they can usually avoid it. I use the detection and successful removal of that trojan as a benchmark for how good an AV solution is. how well does Panda Cloud AV 1)detect and prevent it from even installing; 2) remove it once installed; and 3) repair damage after removal of the trojan (to a resonable extent of course)?
Hi guys..
I am really excited about dis product (specially after d review by pcmag)
had a few queries..
if sm1 could clarify .. I’ll go ahead and download..
So everything works on cloud rite..
k, then suppose I am not connected to the Internet (say for a day or a week) then does it still scan files that I transfer to my PC offline (ie via a thumb-drive / cd etc.) [I understand dat wid traditional AVs also not updating for a week is equivelent to having no AV (for the newer viruses); but atleast it does fix malwares (whose defination is already in its database)]
never mind..
read the forums and docs..
and installed
I’m currently using your free cloud antivirus program on an XP machine. Do
you recommend also installing PC Tools Threatfire for additional protection
or have you found incompatibilities? I WAS using the free Comodo firewall,
but now am using Windows own firewall. So, my existing security protection
is Windows firewall and Panda Antivirus…..is that enough ?
Pedro,
I have been using Panda Cloud constantly since it went into Final version. Great program.
Why does it not start immediately upon my PC booting into the Windows GUI? I am using Windows XP SP3. The little X appears in the Panda icon in the System Tray for about 10-15 seconds then disappears. Is it because that Nano Service is slow to start?
my pc is infected by a virus and am having difficulties in downloading the panda antivirus.what can i do??
