If Panda CloudCleaner's intimate Web integration and 'call me!' hook don't bother you, it can serve as part of a comprehensive anti-malware front.įreeware programs can be downloaded used free of charge and without any time limitations.

We weren't displeased that Cloud Cleaner requires a system reboot to finish the job, but we declined Panda's request to call a toll-free number to 'complete the removal process.' We don't mind the cloud-based analysis (much) but a phone call is a bit too intrusive for tastes.īefore we rebooted, we ran some similar tools, which returned similar results not identical.

We selected everything but the gaming mouse profiles for cleaning. We could review the program's findings and select items before cleaning. The process didn't take long, but a slow or unreliable Internet connection could be an issue. Cloud Cleaner took about as long to scan PC as regular anti-malware tools, and the process is similar up to the point that Cloud Cleaner transmits your scan data to the cloud for checking against the latest definitions. Cloud Cleaner's Advanced Tools let us Kill All Processes (drastic!) and Unlock Files (as well as send files to Panda) but there's no exclusion list or similar options: Everything is in the hands of online experts, supposedly. Unlike other similar programs that start a scan as soon as you open it, Panda's scan starts only when you tell it to. We clicked Accept and Scan to finish installing Panda Cloud Cleaner.
