360 Total Security Essential

If its an unknown file for 360 it will give you a warning yes, sometimes here too but i added to trustlist and its done

 

I also have had false positives. On the plus side, it's easy to add files to the whitelist since you don't have to do so manually. But, on the other hand, it would be much better to not have the issues with false positives. Personally, when I am running 360 products (I'm quite happily not running any antivirus at the moment, and could quite happily never use an antivirus if it wasn't for my desire to be constantly try different antiviruses), I have them set to prompt when a potential threat is found, and if it is a false positive I can add it to the ignore list directly from the alert windows that pops up. However, the average user is just going to blindly let anything detected be quarantined.

So in my case, I can put up with the false positives. But I think I need to think twice before installing 360 products on other people's computers. This is a shame as the user interface is brilliant in my opinion, apart from the issue of not showing the details of any threats found until a scan has completed.

 

I uninstalled 360 Internet Security to use 360 TSE.

Here are my thoughts:

• Allow us to disable Online Shopping mode - Online Shopping mode appears to activate by itself if a URL matches a major online retailer like Amazon, but there is no way to determine if TSE is currently in Online Shopping mode (no status in the main 360 GUI interface or via system tray and how to toggle it on/off easily). In the meantime, I've had to deactivate Online Shopping mode as an "Internet Protection" layer altogether.
  
• Allow us to disable 360's built-in engines like QVMII - I believe QVMII is the culprit behind a ton of the false positives. Using 360IS, I never had QVMII enabled as an engine and relied solely on the Cloud Scan engine and Bitdefender. In 360IS, you could disable QVMII.
  
• Bring back scheduled scans - TSE is supposed to be the "new and improved Internet Security", however if 360IS offered scheduled scans, not sure why TSE doesn't offer it.
• Allow us to whitelist URLs from the "Log - Web Threat" window - If TSE blocks a site, I should be able to quickly whitelist it from this window instead of having to manually enter it in "Settings - Trust Llist - URL".
• Improve RAM usage of Bitdefender engine - The RAM usage when using Bitdefender on 360IS was quite minimal (~20-30MB). In TSE, the RAM usage is around 180MB. I'm currently using the Avira engine only as the RAM usage is comparable to using Bitdefender with 360IS.

 

Interesting. Some of said 360IS wasn't discontinued, just renamed. But this program sounds like it could be using a different engine.

 

To be fair, I have Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 running as a trial on a separate Windows 7 box and the memory usage is currently using ~230MB RAM, which is comparable to TSE's Bitdefender engine.

 

RAM usage has nothing to do with how heavy an AV is anymore. It's how the AV handles real time file scanning, whether it has HTTP scanning or not, HIPS, Behavioural Blocker, etc. Those determine how light it is. Not how much RAM it uses. I never even look at how much RAM an AV use EVER. Let it use all my RAM if it wants as long as my system remains snappy.

 

Trying it now and got a question..are the BD and Avira engines manual scan only? Mine shows realtime scan for both as disabled and manual only enabled. I don't see a option anywhere to turn them on auto.

 

Change settings to secure from balanced. Then these two extra engines will work in realtime.

 

I did not mention the word "heavy".

Memory matters when you are memory-restricted as is the case when using a tablet, netbook, or low-end laptop/computer.

 

Thanks that did it.

 

Is there any logfile I can look at?
I am asking because the information given after a scan is a little sparse.

Where is this file? Is it a file?

 

Click on the Protection icon. Lower Right is the Log button.

 

Thanks for the tip. But everything except for Update is empty there.

 

ya, i didn't know that either until you posted about it. thanks roger_m. frankly that a silly move by qihoo. i mean how many ppl realized you can actually click on the protection icon for more settings? all settings should be available in the settings page imho.

PCmag.com gave 360 TSE an Excellent rating - 4/5:

The link isn't working in Australia, and perhaps other countries outside the US too. It took me to a printer review on PC Mag's Australian website. But, I was able to view the article by copying and pasting the address you posted into Google, and viewing Google's cached copy.

 

That link worked OK for me. It took me straight to the 360 TSE Review.

Link works fine/normal here.

 

OK, just tried with IE11 and it also took me straight to the 360 TSE Review. I wonder why the link works for some and not others?

 

Link worked fine here, Win 7 and Firefox ver 25....

 

so does anyone know for sure whether it's just being renamed, or it's the total security without the extras?
