I'm reading lately several articles related to a new generation of antivirus based on a small computer program that uses web servers to store information instead of downloading and updating the signature files.
's strengths is to detect and remove malware from what it calls collective intelligence (automates sampling, analyze, categorize and create the pattern detection and disinfection is shared by internet service providers). They are talking about 6 minutes between the detection of a new virus and its analysis and categorization.
You do not have to worry about updating the virus signature files, this information is in internet servers. The more users of antivirus information is available and more variants of the virus are detected and removed

The client (the virus that is installed on your computer) it protects against infections using a local cache and database on the network and making simple scans:
- On-Access Scan (To enter). Scans files that are being used at all times
- Scan Prefetch (Preferred). Scan downloaded files from internet, when the processor is freed as soon as possible Scan
- BackGround (background). Scan your computer when you are not doing anything
Panda has released a free version under the name Cloud Panda Antivirus and has published much information on these new concepts. An excerpt is as follows
What is the relationship between collective intelligence, the cloud and the community?
Collective Intelligence is a security platform consisting of database servers hosted in the cloud, with all the information necessary to detect and neutralize threats in your PC.
These servers are based on the information provided by the user community on virus detections that have occurred on their computers. Collective intelligence processes and classifies all this information, allowing Cloud Panda Antivirus can refer to these servers and maximize their ability to target, without adversely affecting the resource consumption of your computer.
Thus, Panda Antivirus Cloud is able to detect millions of virus much faster and without relying on the traditional system updates. So, your PC will be better protected and their performance will not be penalized.
