Download Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.0.1

Panda Security released an update to its antivirus program Panda Cloud Antivirus a few days ago. Like any antivirus, it can detect viruses, recognize malware and, in the event of an infection, don its doctor’s coat to restore the patient’s health. The addition ‘cloud’ in the name has mainly to do with recognizing and reporting newly detected viruses and malware to the so-called Collective Intelligence servers from panda. The update has version number 1.0.1 and contains a number of improvements, the most notable of which is the removal of the obligation to register with Panda. The announcement of this release looks like this:

Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.0.1

Today we are releasing a new version of Panda Cloud Antivirus, version 1.0.1. This version is basically a cumulative-fix release which incorporates Hotfix-1, Hotfix-2 and some small additional improvements.

The most notable improvement is that we have gotten rid of the initial account registration which used to be mandatory for first-time installs. Panda Cloud Antivirus will not ask for account during install anymore. Only if you want to participate in the Cloud Antivirus Support Forums will you need to create an account.
