Immunet new free antivirus on the cloud

By: Hema Manchand

Not long ago,Panda Cloud has emerged , a free antivirus that emphasized over other security solutions on one thing: it worked in the cloud . When we talk about the cloud, we always refer to the network, i.e the load of resources (much criticized in the current anti-virus) the owners of the servers support each service. After a time, Panda Cloud has become one of the free antivirus most used, since the basis of these security solutions lies in the speed with which they detect new viruses and malwares from day to day, working on a collective intelligence, so if a user got attack by a new virus, antivirus Cloud automatically sends the protection to other users connected to the Collective Intelligence Network .

Now comes another free antivirus Cloud called Immunet . This is a security solution very similar to Panda Cloud and would require a thorough analysis of the functions and protective power of each, but in general, promises to deliver more or less the same as the first.

Immunet is also based in Collective Intelligence, which leads to a positive (virus update instantly) and a negative (depends proportionally on the number of users who have).

One of the things that make Immunet very interesting, like the rest of antivirus in the cloud, they can live perfectly with other antivirus software because they are loaded beyond the PC. Something that is impossible to do when you have 2 antivirus installed, because usually the incompatibilities arise.
