Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro 3 offers all the features and protection of its free counterpart, including a firewall, Cloud-based scanning, a completely redesigned tile-based user interface, and extras like the USB Vaccine and Rescue Kit, and adds exclusive features like the new Wi-Fi Monitor and VIP support. You can try Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro 3 for free for five days, though some features require activation and an account.

Pros

Easy setup: Unlike some premium antivirus suites, Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro didn't require us to disable or uninstall our existing antivirus software, firewall, or anti-malware tools, nor did it conflict with our existing tools in operation.

Wi-Fi Monitor: The new Wi-Fi Monitor displays all devices connected to your Wi-Fi signal, so you can identify and stop unauthorized users from helping themselves to your bandwidth.

USB Vaccine: The USB Vaccine feature prevents infection by vaccinating your USB drives against threats like autorun exploits.

Cons

Truncated trial: Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro at first reported our free five-day trial had ended on the first day, though when we rebooted, the nag screen reported four remaining days. The software had only been installed a few minutes into the five-day trial, but four days is better than none.

Bottom Line

Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro 3 brings minimal fuss, a well-designed interface, and worthwhile extras to a crowded software segment. Laptop users in particular will want to take a look at its Wi-Fi Monitor.
