Panda's NanoScan

[NAMOR]

I was looking through google news and found an article titled Is the Wild List Too Tame? (http://www.appscout.com/2007/02/is_the_wild_list_too_tame.php) which then took me to another article titled Are You REALLY Protected? (http://www.appscout.com/2007/02/are_you_really_protected.php) which later took me to http://www.nanoscan.com/. anywho, I thought I share it.

From "Are You REALLY Protected? "
{QUOTE-> ...Panda's new project tries to reverse this trend. Called Nanoscan, it moves everything except a tiny (200K) driver off your computer and "into the cloud". It can use a vast number of signatures, run all kinds of sandboxing and emulation tests, any type of processing that's needed - because it's not using your computer's resources. And it's fast. The Nanoscan beta scanned my laptop in 60 seconds. Pedro apologized for its slowness; apparently 30 seconds is more usual. Must've been the overloaded WiFi connection at RSA. <-QUOTE}

Interesting, how did they transfer the entire infectable content of the laptop within 60 seconds? Or is just anything with a known "good" file name skipped? ::)

Ah, they only check for active malware, that's different.

Antivir states it is all Heur/Malware even the .dll's :)
