Panda Dome Free Antivirus is now available as a free download for Windows 11/10/8/7 users. Apart from introducing scheduled scanning and Automatic USB Vaccine features and anti-exploit protection, the Panda Free Antivirus, earlier called Panda Cloud Antivirus, comes with the powerful XMT Smart Engineering Scan Engine.
The removal of the ‘cloud’ word has it’s a very obvious reason, as mentioned by the company. When Panda was first released, it was the only antivirus solution in the market that used cloud technology to keep you secure, but as time passed, nowadays, most antivirus software are using their cloud engines for detecting viruses, and that is the reason the company has decided to take the cloud word off the Title. Not just has the name changed, but many features have been updated too, and now you may see new features with some old ones.

99.9% according to AV-Comparatives Real-World Protection test for March-June 2014 and only 1 false positive
WHAT!!! “Panda sucks” ….. NO IT DOESN’T …. all the major anti-virus tools are actually excellent at detecting and removing malware but none are perfect. Sure their are differences which are features that one might have and others don’t but that does not make one better than another. If you review AV Comparatives Real World Protection test you will see that every month the score varies on each anti-virus tool. These tests are conducted on a monthly bases and will usually vary from month to month. There is no such thing as a “perfect anti-virus tool”, well, not yet as I know of.

I’ve used different antivirus software (real-time protection), Norton, Avira, Avast and currently Panda Antivirus FREE V 15.0.4. with cloud technology. Let me first state that, as we all know, there is no such thing as a PERFECT ANTIVIRUS and I just want to make it clear that all these security tools are good at what they do. After using Panda for 4 months I have to say that it’s more than adequate and does an excellent job. It’s very light on resources, won’t slow down your PC, no need to manually update it’s data files and you’ll not even know it’s on your PC. It does have a pop-up ad notifying to up-date to the paid version but I have seen it maybe 4 or 5 times since I installed it and not annoying what so ever. In the new Version 15.0.4 an Anti Exploit Technology has been added. You can also schedule automatic daily, weekly or monthly scans for better protection if you desire. I haven’t encountered any issues and can’t say enough on just how glad I am with Panda FREE. If you’re looking for excellent protection with very little effort on your part then I would suggest Panda Antivirus FREE V 15.0.4. I can’t think of any other antivirus with such great protection for so little $$$….. that’s FREE……. enjoy …
