Users have mentioned that it failed to pick up on malware that other software picked up on. The software also often picks up files without software and wants to delete them. Do not allow the software to automatically do this. Make sure you look over the selected “viruses” before deleting any of them, or you could be deleting real data! The benefits of Panda include a really nice user interface and the way it is spread out between the Internet and your desktop, which allows the software to automatically upgrade when newer versions are released and take as little memory as possible on your hard drive.

Once the Beta phase is over, you can continue using the FREE version of Panda Cloud Antivirus. This version has the same detection power, as it will continue connecting to Collective Intelligence and working 100% at all times. What happens when the Beta phase is finished?

Not sure there's going to be much of a market for AV software in the near future.. Isn’t Microsoft releasing Onecare for free anyway?

In any case, when this product leaves the beta state, its effectiveness will be reduced for good.

Their bloggers insist it will continue with the current features. This could make sense since a large group of individual users would provide more varied input to their "collective intelligence" which they can then sell to businesses. The load is minimal in the long run. That said, when first installed it does grab an inordinate amount of resources to perform its initial full scan. Once that is done things seem to settle down. I've been running about six hours today and its consumed a bit over a minute of CPU. So far it hasn't found anything on my PC except for one false positive. Then again, neither did Avast or Avira, which were the last two products I tried. The comprehensive tests I've read seem to put it in the middle of the pack but the theory behind a cloud AV should let it become more accurate over time. I'd recommend it.
