Battle 360 Internet Security vs. Kaspersky Internet Security

[Chippel]

Which Program is better in terms of:

Protection
Prevention
and Speed?

 

[bunyip783]

Would be easier with a poll. Depends greatly on the user but it terms of speed I think Qihoo wins. Kaspersky is more automated and Qihoo requires more input. You decide.

 

[Venustus]

In terms of protection/prevention I would say Kaspersky.

 

[DaZa9]

In my opinion I see Qihoo is better in all ways (Ram usage, FREE, etc...) and it using 3 different engines
BitDefender, their Cloud Engine and QVM II Engine.

some users of Qihoo has already faced privacy problem, google for more....

 

[alexp79]

hello

In term of protection i would say kaspersky also but i never had chances with it, it's too heavy for my laptop
so can't really answer as i never used qihoo

 

[ZeroDay]

Kaspersky, hands down, every time.

 

[Nedim]

Easy. Kaspersky

 

[House_maniac]

i'm using 360 security suite i like it plus its free

Protection
Prevention
and Speed?

As far as I'm concerned Prevention is a part of Protection-
That is determined by each user own actions. One may provide better Protection for one user but the other may provide better Protection for a different user.

Speed- unless everyone has the exact system specifications, this can not be determined.

The only way to know the to try both on your system and do your own comparison.

Enjoy!!

Kaspersky is better. 360 has a problem, its real-time protection isn't on for minutes after startup. They released a new version, no fix for this. It's taking them a long time. The other day I saw their website invaded by spammers, although this may be completely irrelevant. Going back to the programs themselves, I haven't used Kaspersky in a long time, but I have tried 360 recently, and it's not a very mature product.

Kaspersky... unbeatable

I consider Kaspersky far and away the best of the paid applications. Doing a quick tweak in the Applications restriction section makes it even better.

For those that want a free application, Qihoo is very good, but not perfect. This lacking can be easily enough resolved by the addition of Comodo Firewall (sandbox on, firewall on, HIPS off).

So basically K vs Q is like comparing Apples (paid) to oranges (free).

360 has three engine. bitdefender, QVM and 360 cloud engine
it detects more malware, virus , trojans and worms.
all of the three engine works great.
so can beat kaspersky in detection and removal.

 

[Amiga500]

detection does not mean better protection.

I am now using my kaspersky license and one change in the application control will more or less stop all malware in its tracks.

wow? really??! then what does mean better protection?

 

[Amiga500]

no av can "detect" everything.
So if a malware does not get detected then what rearguard defenses are in place to provide "protection".

 

[DaZa9]

and I didn't say 360 can detect everything...

 

[Amiga500]

and I didn't say 360 can detect everything...

i didnt imply you did.

 

[cruelsister]

Amiga is absolutely correct. Too much emphasis is placed by many on the raw detection score for given samples, and not enough on the capability to detect and stop malicious activity of unknowns.

Simply put, would you rather use a product that will detect 95/100 and let you be infected by the remaining 5, or use a product that will only detect 80/100 but will prevent by whatever means (HIPS, Sandbox, whatever) the ability of the unknown 20 to infect a system?

Personally I have a high regard for Qihoo, but would NEVER use it without Comodo Firewall in place to catch it when it fails.
