Panda Cloud Antivirus - Version 1.0 Final Released

The submission to the cloud does not necessarily mean automatic inclusion/blocking of those files. Behind the scenes there's a lot of analysis processes going on to determine if the file is malicious or not before it is blocked. Simply having a lot of submission of the same file(s) does not change the determination. It is prioritized more or less, but you cannot "make" it malicious if it is not.

 

Is there manual reverse engineering at some point or is there some automates binary analyses?

 

There's both. Of course most of it is automated these days. We do maintain a % of manual to improve generic sigs, detect new techniques to improve automation , etc.

 

@Pbust,


when files are in the recycling bin, how long does it take from them to be look at good or bad and moved out?

if they are bad do they get deleted?

 

It depends on many things, such as prevalence, whether it is looked at automatically or manually, the characteristics of the file, which technology detected it, etc. With version 1.1 we are adding some advanced configuration so that the behaviour of the Recycle Bin can be fine-tuned to whatever you want.

 

great to hear,


What one thing will make the 'free' version different from the 'Pro' Version that will be coming?

 

@pbust
Thank you
I'm set up for a 1to1 after the hols

Vista HP 32bit

ps - your post on Panda forum (the dat file issue) looks for Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\All Users\Panda Security\Panda Cloud Antivirus\CfgData
Some, like me, do not have \users\all users. I have users\david, users\default, users\public

 

You're right, thanks for the tip

 

Cost

 

lol true, but im talking feature wise. the cost wont be an issue it will be compeditive.

 

If this is the only difference I will stay with the free version

 

Perhaps Panda Cloud AV should have a Default Deny mechanism like a HIPS. That way, unknown files can't run and harm your computer.

 

i wouldnt mind a popup to allow or deny. maybe a remember buttom to create a database to remember unknowns.

good idea.

 

Panda deleted a file without any notification again I really like Panda, but I can't stand this behaviour

 

This def needs to b revised

 

... and it was a FP

 

Panda just deleted coat.dlll from the Comodo leak test. The file just disappeared - it didn't even show up in the Panda "recycler". I don't like this auto "quarantine" feature. I'd like to be able to choose ignore or put a flagged file in an excluded list.

 

I think it's no problem if you get a notification - but: NO notification and AUTO quarantine is really unacceptable

 

version 1.1 will offer alot more better usage and will also include behav. blocking. and self protection.

 

Norton-like behavior

 

I'm interested in testing this, I have tools though that it will most likely auto-quarantine/delete on my test box though. Can someone say if it has r/t file system monitoring? Like it scans on read/writes, maybe with selective extensions? If it has r/t and cloud I'd consider using it over avira 10 free considering it doesn't wipe my development tools and binaries transparently.

 

Is Panda only installing in C\program files?

I cannot install Panda Ca for example in D drive

 

that is correct you cant do a custom install the default is

C:\Program Files\


i hope they change that in the next version.

 

Not even close.

 

i am not comparing i am just saying that Norton does the same but maybe in not as a severe way
