Re: 360 Security: FREE Triple antivirus engine, BitDefender included

Does this also use Avira's engine? Thanks for the share.

 

Re: 360 Security: FREE Triple antivirus engine, BitDefender included

Nope, only QVM engine, BitDefender and 360 Cloud.

 

Re: 360 Security: FREE Triple antivirus engine, BitDefender included

Ok thanks If I remember correctly qihoo 360 did pretty good on AV-C.

 

Re: 360 Security: FREE Triple antivirus engine, BitDefender included

does it support win8?
it seems doesnt.

Edit: I can install it on windows 8.

 

Very similar to Baidu AV - in features and options. While installing it cheks others security apps and...if needed...uninstall them - Baidu AV in my lap. It's next app from "chinese brother" of Kingsoft and Baidu but I don't know why i's called "internet security"?

Seems to be a company that likes to shake things up.

 

Re: 360 Security: FREE Triple antivirus engine, BitDefender included

Asian antiviruses on the rise? Doesn't the GUI ressemble Baidu AV a bit too much??

 

Does it use the latest BD engine?
Any problems with updates?

 

Re: 360 Security: FREE Triple antivirus engine, BitDefender included

Looks exactly like Baidu... will try it today.

 

Thanks for info, let's see how it does now.

 

Had it installed for two hours and it has updated

 

This looks a pretty decent application for free.
I dont see a firewall mentioned anywhere so i assume it doesnt have one.

Looks nice.

 

It does have a few options

 

This could easily be the best free AV. Fully interactive, no ads, light, some proactive protection as well. Excellent results on AVC and Av-Test.

Webcam protection successfully blocks the Zemana test.

More options if you click the downward arrow.

 

been installed for just over two hours and already updating for the second time. I like that.

 

I will test it tomorrow...looks promising...

 

Does anyone know if it uses the current BD engine?

 

bdcore.dll - 11.0.1.6

 

Thanks

How can they offer this product for free? Is it wrong of me to be dubious of security software from China?

 

Re: 360 Security: FREE Triple antivirus engine, BitDefender included

Yes it supports windows 8, but without keylogger protection

 

Evidently they make more than enough money through other venues.

Haven't you read the news lately? It's not China you should be worried about...

 

Can someone share popup alert or website blocking page?

 

Just a quick little review.
Includes:
RT file protection, USB protection,
Proactive defense, URL filter, Download protection, Webcam protection
3 AV engines (2 RT on default, QVM II off)
Rootkit scan (off default)
5 process running at roughly 28-35K

Pros:
-Installed in approx 15 seconds.
-Installed on Win 8 x64 w/o a problem
-Instantly updated itself.
-UI is very modern and fresh.
- Scheduled scans
- Quick scan lasted 2 min. (On fairly fresh Win 8 install)
- Runs very light on the system.

Cons:
-It did ask to uninstall WSA but it gave me the option to skip.
-Updating bitdefender engine was kind of slow.

 

Thanks.
