Cloud based antivirus is slowly picking up its popularity since the launch of the first cloud-based antivirus, Panda Cloud Antivirus. The cloud based antivirus is very different from traditional anti-virus software as it consists of a lightweight antivirus agent that is connected, in real time to the web to protect your PC, which means that you don’t need to regularly download and update your antivirus with the latest signature files.
Now, Comodo is following Panda Cloud Antivirus’s footstep by introducing it’s cloud-based malware scanner utility, called the Comodo Cloud Scanner.
Comodo Cloud Scanner is a freeware cloud malware scanner tool that scans your system for malware and suspicious files. Besides that, this tool will also reveals privacy issues, identity traces, all corrupted/unwanted/invalid registry entries and all junk data from disk in the scan result.
Comodo Cloud Scanner is compatible with Windows XP, 2003, Vista and 7.
