The hunt for viruses in the clouds

Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular.
A locally running antivirus increases the load on hardware resources, resulting in reduced computer performance. Antivirus company Panda Security has launched a beta version of cloud antivirus - Panda Cloud Antivirus.
On the client side, a client is installed, and malware detection will be performed in an “anti-virus cloud” (which developers call Collective Intelligence, collective intelligence).

At www.cloudantivirus.com, you can download a free client that will communicate with the anti-virus cloud. The program takes 50 MB on the hard disk and about 17 MB in RAM.
