Baidu does have proactive defence, although I haven't tested it yet.
No, you're wrong. I've tested this myself. Several times Baidu had better detection than Qihu. And this was with a month-old database so it was...
Keep an eye at the Baidu Antivirus development then, they have Avira and a very strong cloud (comparable to or better than Qihu's). Right now they...
No it absolutely doesn't. Having a cloud component is a plus, not the core security component. Unless you're perfectly happy to plug in any CD or...
Installed the new version over the old one, all configurations reset to default so I had to reconfigure everything. Database still the same, no...
No problem mate, it's finished already, but thanks a lot!
Yup, very strange. Maybe they were issuing updates normally but decided it's too much of an investment? For such a big company? I find that...
I think it's safe to assume you get the same db as BitDefender, only updated less often.
Yes, you're "right".
I've never seen its web guard catch anything, though. Have you guys?
Yes, I also have to remember to clean the quarantine every once in a while. I don't know, it seems very strange that they block it just because...
The error in the page is because it's only for downloading the files. Like the current installer:...
A quick one about update size: after installing with their latest installer, which brought today a 3-day-old database, it downloaded 1.5MB in 5...
;D I just ran a test with Comodo, Qihu and Baidu. Baidu detected the most malware, impressive. Of course, although it's not the first time I've...
I'll quote ya on their Forum. I think it'll be nice to open a thread about it. I'll keep y'all posted.
People, people! C'mon, where's the moderation here? Humor is not for this place. The updates are at most 1GB, normally it's around 500MB. Quit...
It's almost good enough from my observations (actually I just observed cruelsister's observations, so she can tell more).
Aaaand: a reply from Baidu! This is what I posted: This is what I got: So far, all considered, I would regard this as very promising....
Their Forum is pretty much dead, I asked about the update situation but got no reply. It's a shame. Their cloud is fine when it works, but...
I'm not accusing Qihu, I merely linked two articles that discuss possible unethical behavior from them. I was not the one who brought up the fact...
I think one year is not enough to forget or to forgive unethical behavior from a security firm.
This is related to the accused bad practices (though I haven't read it all myself yet):...
So is it updating at all? I have seen such strange results in testing. I would scan a folder with samples, and get nearly no results. A few...
I think their reputation comes from such things as this: http://www.techinasia.com/qihoo-committing-fraud-google-making-huge-mistake/
Mine hasn't updated again, so database is over a day old again.
