Microsoft could do the same to other publishers and offer antivirus based on the Cloud, that is the analysis of which is antiviral deported on Microsoft servers.

Expected shortly in beta, Morro, Antivirus free successor to Windows Live Onecare could according cloud computing. The principle of this new generation of Antivirus is to interconnect the client installed on the workstation with a data center managed by the publisher.

Cloud of virus already proposed by Panda, Trend Micro and McAfee.

This solution was adopted to fight against the continued growth of bases of signatures and the use of local resources. Concretely, this translates to the following process: opening a suspicious file triggers the sending of a request (with imprint and vector) to the data center hosting the Antivirus engine and a full database of signatures.


If the code is identified as malicious, a warning message informs the user. Changes in the parameters of the workstation can also be proposed to prevent infection and developed an anticode.
This real-time protection not herald the end of traditional signatures. This technology is presented as complementary rather than a substitute.

Several antivirus vendors, including Mcafee, trend Micro and panda security have implemented since 2008 this new technique. It is however not the case according to Kaspersky that this approach has to many limitations.

"These are testing times for us,"
says Uday Challu, Founder & CEO, iYogi. The slowdown?
"No, because we are growing faster than ever…at 15 per cent a month,"
he replies. What iYogi was adding in six months last year by way of capacity and customers, it is now adding each month. And it has just acquired a US-based PC concierge company.
"The challenge is to get the growth right, but we have all good problems,"
says Challu. iYogi, which Challu founded with Vishal Dhar, President, Marketing, provides technical assistance to home and small business computer-users via phone and remote access. Based out of Gurgaon, iYogi’s 500 yogis (that’s what it calls its agents) support about 70,000 customers across the US, the UK, Canada, and now Australia. "We have got right what IT industry has not," says Challu. "OEMs understand enterprises, but the consumer is a different ballgame." This year, iYogi wants to make waves in India. It is currently running a beta with a telecom service provider to provide complete management of IT services of small business users. Every exchange that an iYogi customer has with its staff ends with a "Good karma" wish for the customer. Seems all "good karma" is coming back to iYogi!
