    Hi

    I have IS at the moment but is - of course - going to change to TS in the future when it is a good time to and i am following the developement of TS here on the forum and on the net . I am wondering what the necessary changes to TS has to be to really call it as "fully functional" as IS ? I know that for now - at least up until this release - the keylogging function probably could improve compared to IS - anything more ?

    Is anyone going to test the keylogging functionality in this latest release - Cruelsister ?

    I agree,atleast we would know what issues were persistent in the program in the beta stage and what we can expect from the developers but we have to send jackie chan again to investigate!

    edit:
    I realized it's for Android, but nevermind.

    I tried it in Virtual Machine, Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit.
    At first, it didn't update bitdefender virus definitions, but on 3rd update attempt, it supposedly downloaded new definitions, atleast so it claims.
    I didn't notice any changes on it's GUI,compared to earlier beta..
    It seems to eat a whole lot more of memory too..

    Working with Jay on some TS slight issue, no big deal, as soon as I get it done, I will remind them about this, pls be patient, thank you.

    In the meantime, the only info so far is that they will work on increasing DB updates from 2 to several per day.

    Technically it shouldn't be a problem. It's only question of price Qihoo will have to pay for an increase of updates frequency.

    If they weight in that increase in updates means more protection, they will seriously consider it. But if their cloud engine + heuristics can do the job just fine, then it would be pointless IMO. Though in offline scenario it would be desirable to have up-to-date sigs or have autosandbox unknown files until it is verified in-the-cloud....
    Having 550 million people contributing to the submission intelligence, I think we're pretty much covered already...

    Hello. I've just joined this site. But, I have been following the development of this thread for a few weeks. I stumbled across it after doing a google search concerning the issue of the Avira and Bitdefender definitions not updating frequently enough in Total Security and when they did update it was not to the most "up to date" definitions that where available. 48 hours could pass without an update. Then when it did update I would dig into the 360 program file to see what the definition version was then cross-check them with the definitions update history at Avira and Bitdefender only to find that the people who had either Avira or Bitdefender as their AV would have received that particular definition version update 24 hours earlier, and they would have had probably 2 or 3 further definition updates in the mean time. I did try the version 5 beta as well, but it was the same. So, I uninstalled 360 Total Security and installed Avast (Hardened Mode) which has been running fine alongside Comodo firewall and it updates frequently. I did like 360 TS and if they can push-out the latest Avira and Bitdefender definition updates when they become available and the 360 TS users get them when the Avira users and Bitdefender users get them, then I will have no hesitation in switching back to 360 TS. But, at the moment the Avira/Bitdefender feature is just an eye-catching gimmick. If they don't update in real time - what's the point? That's not Total Security that's just False Security. If it is just down to cost, and if it would cost Qihoo more money to have the updates - more up to date, then they should drop either Avira or Bitdefender and just go with one of them. One of them updating to the latest definitions in real time, is far better than both updating as and when with update versions that are 24 hours out of date. Now, I know Qihoo 360 Total Security is free, so they are well within their rights to offer it on a take it or leave it basis - so, for now - I choose to leave it.

    @Diamond_Geezer Updates to end users are distributed via P2P technology, that is, most of the time, that's the download module out there in the TS.

    @true indian Thanks for the help. I am working on that as well.... Good thing I am on vacation from work so have more time....


    P.S. Running TS since I've heard of it, and STILL 0 infection. Yay me.
    Scanners involved: malwarebytes, hitmanpro, herdprotect, power eraser [false positive].

    Websites involved: warez/crack, torrent, porn....
    I guess Bitdefender/Avira not updating in realtime is still protecting me as it should :)

    Preparing for a volley of criticism in 3,2,1....

    well I am trying it out and it seems the first issue or bug I see is the extreme long time taken for the avira and bitdefender engine signiture update. I checked the download manager and shows 100% in downloading but seems still being downloaded or maybe loading. when click exit, get the message theat download manager will exit after all downloads are finished. for avira took about 5 minutes to finish updating and for bitdefender is still updating according to the downlad manager.

    This issue need to be addressed, because this is a headache and a turn-off to have to wait a very mong time for the updates to finish.

    I am going to give it a few more minutes to see if the downloading and updating of bitdefender finishes and if not, then will uninstall 360 TS.

    well I just exiited the donwload manager and clikc to close downloads and checked via update and it says all updatedo_O?

    Anyway I ran a short test and 360TS did very well, but might be some bugs in removal of detections.

    I downloaded a bunch of malwares and 360TS warned for all of them but I found some malwares although 360 warned me and I thought it moved it to quarantee, they were downloaded to my desktop and when I ran them, they installed fine.

    I tried a right scan scan of those malwares and cutome scan of 360 picked them up and removed them.

    So here is an issue, although 360 shield detected those malwares and warned and took the appropriate action, but it still allowed a bunch of them to download fine and run on the system.

    So the infection removal need to be addressed and tuned for better cleaning.

    Gak,I think they are finally listening because avira and bitdefender are pretty active now in my test.There was a file yesterday that no engine picked up but avira did.I checked on VT and it was same situation not detected by BD but by avira.I am guessing they are finally working on fixing this update problems as now the engines are coming to life. ;)

    Normal behavior, you are downloading engines+signatures, which are massive in size, it takes time for that. then it will take time to initialize and activate them. for finishing touch, you share sigs with other people via P2P [not everything, but slight portion (that message that will exit after all downloads are finished)].
    If you want to, kind of, speed it up, install avira or BD first, then the other one. You can do so manually, say, click on avira in protection, wait till it's installed, then do bitdefender....

    This is known. Known malware will be picked up straight away. Modified malware will be picked upon manual scan, or on execution [unpacking of program components], where it will be monitored for suspicious payload, or behavior. You will notice that some are not even detected during right click scan, but will be detected in the sandbox on execution, which TS will prompt you to remove it as per it's recommendation.

    Now, this product is not yet finished, it will evolve, expand, grow, some things can't be done overnight. It needs as much info as possible, lab testing, implementation, QA control and finally, the distribution..... Patience is the key...

    They are listening, that's why the last release was a bigfix version, this kind of feedback is crucial to them to see what works with who... We are not the only ones using this, but we are heard across the cyberspace. Keep up the brilliant work, this benefits everyone!
