Cloud Antivirus

[Lisandro]

avast! has anti-routkit, has BB, has heuristic... and you think it was alwil team who first developed such technologies in their product? or you think they stoled from other AV companies  these ideas?

I know what I'm talking about. I'm just talking about upload files from user and testing it against the antivirus.

It's a slightly "less real-time" version of the in-the-cloud model, but without all the disadvantages inherently associated with it (do we really want to do online lookups [or even uploads] for all files scanned on-access? ]. We evaluated that the approach we have taken would be the best way to go.

It' not true, they work without Internet connection too..

I know they work with a local caché but this isn't enough to make a deep analysis 

Well, is decision of the developers include cloud tech in their products...

I think Tech's intention was to  close this thread with those links from VlK, if I'm not mistaken...

No. It's not my intention to close anything. I do not have this power or want it. It's just my opinion and Vlk's one.

Tech, "I sit corrected" than, it's all good...
