If you're like me and cringe when your anti-virus icon notifies you that it's starting a "full scan," then you may be happy to hear the phrase "Cloud Antivirus." InfoSec 2009 brought around some great ideas, but to me, the coolest (and most useful, of course) is a bamboo eating virus killer. Panda Security has recently released it's Panda Cloud Anti-Virus software. Lightweight and stable, Panda does most of it's processing on the cloud (aka - Panda's internal servers). Installation proves that there's a tiny sliver of space used on your harddrive and running it up is smooth and quick. The idea of constant connection with a server gives me a sense of security regarding viruses that can update and modify themselves according to which PC it's attacking.
Try it out, tell me what you think. And oh yeah, the kicker? It's free.
