Panda Cloud 2.0

There is some info on the Beta at the Panda Cloud Blog Page with a few screenies:

Got the beta installed on my laptop....I'll let that be my guinea pig. So far so good. Love the simple interface and no problems so far. Looks and behaves more like a finished product than a beta.

 

told you it was going to be good

 

Can we use our Pro license key or is the Beta setup to run merrily upon install?

 

I would like to know this too. I DL'd the Pro six months free promo but decided to install the beta instead to see the latest development. And because it was my understanding the the Pro currently doesn't have a firewall component....correct me if I'm wrong.

 

So basically 2.0 looks the same as 1.9?

 

AFAIK, yes. The beta builds for version 2 are under the 1.9 branch. The launch will be under the v2 numbering system.

 

The public beta (1.9.1) is full-featured, no Free/PRO. But the firewall will be a PRO feature when 2.0 is released.

 

There actually is no 2.0 final release yet. Thats what much of the early discussion was about. The title 2.0 is confusing folks...

 

Glad I renewed my PRO license...

 

I hear you. I was curious if 2.0 beta was actually available to test out.

Cheers.

 

Is there somebody who could test the FW against ShieldsUp!, PCFlank and some leaktests?

 

Websurfing snappier with 1.9 compared to NIS 2012 IMO. NIS auto deletes tracking cookies with its idle time scan......I suppose Panda will not. I'll leave it to Hitman to get rid of that garbage. Played some Team Fortress 2 and no hang ups or slow downs. Im also trying out spyshelter and that too sat silently in the background.

 

Its light and smooth! Good start....

 

Tbh, the firewall may fail those tests because is not yet mature.

 

So does Panda detect if another firewall is active or not?

 

Installed and did optimized scan with no problems.
But it slowed me down too much when I was on the web.
Uninstalled.

Yes maybe. But the user may be behind a router as well.

 

Panda does delete cookies, though I don't think they have an idle time scan.

 

No it doesn't. I believe pbust answered this question in the other thread.

I'm really starting to think this thread should be merged with the 1.9.x beta thread.

 

I'll test that out. When I ran Hitman yesterday it did ID a large number of Chrome cookies but little to none for IE or FF. Then I ran it again after I installed Panda Cloud and it found a few FF cookies. Of course a better test would be to run FF for days rather than hours to test the cookie trail.

In response to an ealier post, I noticed a web browsing slowdown after the Panda beta install but only for a short time after the install. Then things picked up nicely and browsing was done real snappy compared to NIS 2012. Don't have any explanation for why that occurred. NIS appears pretty active when browsing. I have WOT installed but NIS also puts it's own seal of approval on google search websites. I haven't tested Panda compared to no type of internet browsing security. It may very well seem laggy compared to a naked browser.

 

Scanning for and deleting tracking cookies are not the main scope of any AV product and therefore should not be considered as a parameter for a comparison. Using an AV product to delete cookies is a waste of money and resources IMO.
For that matter get CCleaner or any other cleaning utility you feel confident with.

 

I second that!

When you say 10th best you mean repair, correct? Even though that's still better than GFI, AVG Free, MSE, Webroot, Symantec, ESET, Avast and some others, it is not good enough. If you rank by repair you will see that Panda Internet Security has the top score along F-Secure and BitDefender. Basically the reason is that we found a bug in some disinfection code in PCAV which is not happening in Panda Internet Security. This will be fixed shortly and PCAV will have top of the line disinfection scores as Panda Internet Security. But it might not be in place before the AV-Test Q4 results are published as 2 of the 3 tests of Q4 have already finished or are underway.

If you rank by detection or usability (performance impact) PCAV sits much prettier.
