    UPDATE:

    Kingsoft meets ALL 3 expectations:
    1) cloud,
    2) right click on demand scan
    3) light weight

    Kingsoft also performs well behind my expectations:
    4) USB flash drive active protection - perfect for me becasue I can only save files to USB and I can only get infected from USB.
    5) Performs some useful changes to the registry. I had most of those already done but I forgot to disable Windows Registry Remote Connection service. Kinsoft AV reminded me to do it :)
    6) IM Privacy protection - not sure how this works but I do use Skype a lot so it is welcomed
    7) Company is located in China so it is less likely to get blackmailed to give away personal data to US govt. So this is actually a privacy boost IMO.

    @Dbone, Thank you!

    Yup! It feels much lighter than Panda Cloud. Sorry for misleading everyone else with the title. Perhaps I should have written "Cloud AV needed with...." But it's Friday night and Im tired.

    That is a very interesting take. Some US users are a little weary of using Kingsoft because of its Chinese origins, but that might make them think a little bit different.

    I know the OP is using Kingsoft now, but I forgot to mention another cloud scanner. It does not have a right click scan option, so it doesn't fulfill all of your criteria, but it is a 2nd opinion cloud scanner from Panda Security called Panda Cloud Cleaner in case you're interested.

    Im actually running 2 AVs:
    1. Kingsoft (on demand) when Im in the thaw mode
    2. Comodo (on Access)

    Now as for the Cloud Cleaner, it is a nice find! But Kingsoft/Comodo are already working out quite well. The only thing that I would prefer would be Kingsoft going native x64.
    Im still trying to figure out what exactly is there Comodo's "cloud" feature.

  11. Panda Cloud is the best cloud scanner INMO, it does well against 0-day malware which is very important and is pretty light.

    When Defense+ doesn't recognise a file it will send it to Comodo's servers to be analysed.

    If you disabled Defense+ then you must know what you're doing.
    If you know what you're doing, you shouldn't be asking basic questions.
    If you know what you're doing and you are asking basic questions you're wasting other users time.

    Which brings me to my first appraisal...

    i assume Htmn pro havn't provide a context menu scan.. so u can only scan your system drive due to infections,

    but kingsoft works for me like a charm. comodo cloud is ok , but in order to disinfect the files u'll have to have Cav installed.

    i can challenge on the speed of putting signatures into the cloud base and u'll see kingsoft will win even if giving other vendors extra time bonus :D
