Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Achieves Third Consecutive Virus Bulletin VB100 Certification

Panda Cloud Antivirus Free is one of the least resource-intensive solutions according to the prestigious testing antivirus authority where Panda Cloud Antivirus has received 100 percent of all certifications since taking part in Virus Bulletin’s reviews.

Bracknell, United Kingdom, June 08, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Panda Security, The Cloud Security Company, confirms that Panda Cloud Antivirus Free has been awarded VB100 certification after being tested alongside 40 other antivirus solutions in Virus Bulletin’s April comparative review on Windows XP SP3. This is the third consecutive time that Panda Security has obtained this certification for Windows platforms.

VB100 certification is granted to products that prove a 100% detection rate for malware samples listed as “In the Wild” by the WildList Organization with zero false positives. The comparative review was conducted on a system running Windows XP SP3. Testing was made up of three main parts: on-demand tests, on-access tests, and false positive tests. Panda Cloud Antivirus Free obtained a 100% perfect result in the on-demand and on-access tests, as well as zero false positives.
