Panda Cloud Antivirus Hits Internet for Free

"In an attempt to shake up the lucrative antivirus subscription market, Panda is tapping into two hot tech trends: Web-based 'cloud' computing and free technology giveaways. Microsoft later this year will offer free basic antivirus protection, code-named Morro.

To tap into this free service, you download a small pop-up dashboard from www.cloudantivirus.com."
