This week? No I believe I mentioned that we will probably release a version in-between 1.0 and 1.1, but we don't know the timeline yet.

I am on the latest built but i am still seeing the problem. the built is 3.5.5 for firefox

Brocke, I've been using this for awhile, even in times where I was previously on sluggish snail speeds of wireless (comparable to dial-up most of the time). No slowdowns with it.

Can confirm this behaviour; trying a second time generally brings up the correct format of the page.

@robin9 & @Blackcat, thanks for replicating the problem. We will take a look at it.

@EliteKiller, haven't forgotten about you. Will send you a PM with some instructions.

Sorry for the late replies, I was away from PC for a few days

Thanks robinb9, we've identified the problem and are fixing it. It's due to a language-setting cookie which needs to be set before you enter the forum. If you try to enter the forum directly (via URL to a specific thread) without first visiting www.cloudantivirus.com is how the problem is replicated.

Again thanks for bringing this to our attention!

how will i see the fix? will it be implimented in the next version?
also since this version has no upgrade in it- when the new version comes out will i have to uninstall this one or can i just put it on top of this one?
Also i just looked at panda cloud and it says it is stopped, only there is no error msg- nothing until i opened it to look at where the version is
I did nothing to stop it. I clicked on "Start" and all it is doing is is trying to start and now it says i have no internet connect but ummm I am typing this to you and you will see it go to you so i do have internet connection

If Panda Cloud AV is working offline, how is this different from an Normal AV?

Softpedia: Given that Panda Cloud Antivirus offers the best security when connected to the Internet, what would be the percentage drop in protection when working only with the local cache?

Pedro Bustamante: One of the philosophies of the new protection model we've designed is that AVs don't need to detect every piece of malware that has ever existed or will exist, which is the traditional signature model. Basically what we're saying is that, if we have "x" millions of users in the Collective Intelligence community, what Panda Cloud Antivirus really needs to protect against is whatever malware is circulating amongst those users, and protect them even while off-line. For the rest of malware, you can detect it while connected to the Collective Intelligence servers.

In other words, why do you want your AV to protect you against malware which you'll never even see or come across? Why do you need your AV to waste resources trying to detect some 5 year old malware, 5 day old malware that's already dead or even malware that is affecting Norton users but not Panda users?

This is where the whole "community" aspect of Panda Cloud Antivirus steps in. Whatever Collective Intelligence "sees" out there as circulating in the wild, it creates a small cache version of signatures which detects and disinfects that subset of malware and synchronizes it in every agent for off-line operation. Even while off-line, Panda Cloud Antivirus will protect against all malware that is circulating, against all malware that is "important for you".

Another way of putting it is that this AV has been designed for real people, real users, not for testers and evaluators which judge how good or how bad an AV is based on lab isolated tests of millions of samples which have not seen the light of day in months or even years. Unfortunately the multi-billion AV industry is very influenced (and therefore limited) by what magazine and independent comparatives publish, even though most testing methodologies in existance today still do not try to reflect the real life situations of end users. We're very hopeful that the work of AMTSO is going to help a lot in improving testing methodologies and bring them closer to reflect real life scenarios. (back to top)

Thanks EliteKiller

@Pbust,


How soon do you think we could start beta testing again to make sure PCA 1.1 is bug free?

[pbust]

We're adding quite a bit of functionality into 1.1, so it might take a few months before a beta is released.

What about first making version 1 bug-free

As there are still some users who are having problems with the first release; high CPU usage, the turning off of protection with no tray warning.

So hopefully there will be a 1.01 version soon which would be useful to at least some of us.
