Cloud-based antivirus products can provide several benefits: centralized management, simpler PC deployments and less reliance on users. But how well do these products protect your systems? I look at three cloud-based antivirus services and see how they stack up when compared with a traditional antivirus product — as well as with one another. I tested:
- McAfee Total Protection Service v5.0.0
- Trend Micro TRVProtect v8 SP1
- Panda Cloud Office Protection v5.04.01
