Cloud Technology

greyowl · 2015-04-21T01:43:10.000Z

I am wondering if Avast Free is using any cloud technology like some of the other AVs, eg BitDefender and Panda.

Is there any advantages/disadvantages with these AV that use a cloud approach? I notice that they score well in the AV tests and Panda is suppose to be very light.

I appreciate any input.
