"Cloud" is gong to be attached to every program from now on, even if it only connects to the net to DL info and updates. :P

I think that by definition, an AV program would probably one of those very few programs that is really NOT a "Cloud" program. It HAS to run locally on your machine. Same way that the Browser will never be a "Cloud" program as it has to run locally in order to access/run the Cloud applications.

But if you wanna be the hip new cool guy on the block, be sure to insert "Cloud" into your product name! ;D
