Panda Cloud v2.1.1

no one answered my question on how the heck do you know if it is updating definitions since it does not tell you?
also can it run along side of MSE like Kingsoft antivirus or does it have to be a stand a lone antivirus program?

 

I hope and pray that everything is ok.

 

I believe when you are connected to theinternet you have access to the latest, or are you referring to the ofline cache>

 

Hi there, robin

As the name implies, Panda Cloud leverages the power of Panda's Collective Intelligence to ensure the latest definitions. There is no large local database stored on the machine. Product upgrades are intended to be transparent but you will get a message on a reboot, except for hotfixes. Though transparency will not be 100% possible due to limitations implanted in Windows Starter/Home OS editions. Panda Cloud does use a small local cache of signatures for offline protection to provide defense against threats most commonly seen in our cloud community.

Panda Cloud is a standalone antivirus product much like MSE, Avast, and among others.

 

lol not funny

 

thank you for the response
I was just wondering because most of the time you know when a antivirus does its updating, here you have to pray it does

Also I did a escair test and it grabbed it just fine but there is no where on the software where you can delete the file within the program, you have to go to the place on your hd where it is holding it, in this case it is holding it in a temp folder and when I click on it, it does not take me to exactly where the file is, I have to hunt for it.
On the main page it is showing that I still have 2 viruses, there is nothing in the recycle bin.
I do not like that you have to hunt for the file to delete it
Can you make it so you can delete the file from the main page if you click on Viruses?

How does the URL filter works? Is it a blacklist of known-bad domains, or does it actually filter all the traffic? I've seen some ad placeholders showing something about Panda Security, I can't exactly read what i says because of the size of the placeholder but it looks a lot like when your DNS tells you domain is not available. I'm concerned about this since I don't want my traffic to be filtered. Input from the Panda team will be appreciated.

 

Lol, wrong thread. Panda's URL filter is just checking the URL addresses.

 

Here you go for Panda URL filter...

 

You can see the synchronization event of the local/offline cache if you open Panda, click Antivirus, view detailed report.
All other upgrades normally installs automatically when you reboot the computer, or after a upgrade question and a reboot on Starter/Home edition of windows.

 

Welcome/Välkommen swejuggalo.
Nice to see you hear together with "Cloud" of course, now that pbust isn't online that much anymore.

 

Thanks for the welcome. I've been here reading posts before but it took me a long time to register ;-) I'll will try to take a look at Panda Cloud posts at regular basis from now on.

 

Well here's one from Kees1958 that looks interesting. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=2176109&postcount=98

 

Can you please answer the second part of my question
Thanks

 

Sorry for missing the question. I just downloaded the file eicar.com.
Open Panda, Antivirus, X file(s) in your recycle bin, Clear. Also you have Advanced settings, Warnings and reports, Clear. That is the only clearing you can do. What temp folder do you find the file in?
Does those steps help?

 

lol, quite helpful.

thanks for getting me in the right direction mate I already copy+pasted my post.

 

As we know 2.1.1 have improvements in the heuristics (mentioned at the 2.1.1 blog post). Some of you might know that Panda Cloud Antivirus and Panda Antivirus Pro, despite having a lot in common when speaking of the data it uses to detect malware, they can get different results on a identical file too.
If we send 2.1.1 back in time to the identical tests both his little test and the AV-C test would probably show improvements.
As a lightweight product I think PCAV does a really outstanding work. It can get one of the highest results on AV-C while keeping the resources used on your computer at a minimum. As the AV-C test showed it can be better, and with 2.1.1 it hopefully is.

 

I had answered his question on the first post of the thread: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=2193710&postcount=25

Quite an informative answer, I think so. Hopefully it helped a whole bunch.

Glad to see you here too, Swe. It has been harder for me to catch all the questions since Pbust has been busy.

 

the eicar.com file did not go into the recycle bin- the bin is empty, ok, going into the warning and reports, i cleared that, now it is not showing on main page, but it is still showing that there is a virus detected with a red flag, but it says 0, it did say it was on a temporary internet ie folder prior to me clearing it, but i only cleared the log- that does not take it out of the temp file, now i do not know where it is because i deleted the file but i am going to do the test again and see where it goes and report it

 

here is what I am talking about
I did the test again
it is showing on the main screen as you see here in the pictures
but it is empty in the recycle bin
but in the log it shows up here in this picture
that means I need to go find it? to delete it?
why is it not grabbing it and putting it in the recycle bin?
there I can delete it

 

Apperently this seems to be a issue with IE. Downloading with Firefox there is no "run" but you download it first and then run the file is Panda has not removed it already. With IE you can choose to run the file right after the download have finished automatically. Somehow IE holds on to the file and prevent Panda to move it to it's own bin.
Do Panda remove it after a reboot for you?

Made a video that show what happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfJ8ZbNObBo

 

No rebooting makes no difference
In IE I did not choose to download it or run, I just left it there and that is when panda grabbed it
Maybe you need to fix this? because this is not a good way to go and find the file instead of it going into the recycle bin and I can delete it there
Not everyone uses firefox
robin

 

I looked at the utube video- that is exactly what happens, even if you do not even click-run- panda grabs it but does not put it into the recycle bin and it is a real pain in the you know what, to have to dig into the computer and find the file then scan it again with panda so it puts it in the recycle bin. BTW this is happening in ie 10 and ie 9, I tested it on 2 computers, one running windows 7 and one running windows 8

Do you happen to have Windows 8 too?
IE seems to download the file to the temporary files right away regardless of what you choose. I tried the reboot too later, but it did not remove it then either.
I downloaded eicar.com without choosing run or save in WinXP with IE8. It downloaded the file in the temporary file there too, but Panda did send the file to the bin successfully.
I did the same thing in Win7 with IE10. The file was detected, but was not sent to be bin by Panda!
If anyone happen to have Win7 and IE9 and Panda succeeds to send the file to the bin we can probably say is this is a IE10 issue!

Edit: I saw your IE9 and IE10 test now... So we have found a IE9 and IE10 issue then.

 

I am getting same problem in win7 and ie9 and win 8 and ie 10, one one machine, I am going to put it on my test machine later and see if it does it also on win7 and 9

I do not have this problem with Firefox 9.0 on win7 nor win8
It is doing what it suppose to do in firefox
