Whoa, EMSISOFT lit up like fireworks when clicking on that bottom image, Der. Reisende. Not sure if it was a false positive or what.

There is probably something wrong with hxxp://www.directupload.net/, the service I used in the past to share pictures here where no file upload function is implemented (I think it is only for the Hub). I will exchange above mentioned links, please try again in a few minutes and tell me if it's fine then Gonna change the pic service, too

EDIT: I changed it now, if you click on the image, you will be redirected to the service, offering you to upload your own image.

All good man, I just wanted to be sure. My bad for taking this thread off topic.

It's strange.
Watching the test of SecurityFirst, Bitdefender engine on Qihoo doesn't detect some malware that Bitdefender engine on HitmanPro detects: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3b0FdMnW-o

Maybe not the same database version? BD lags behind on QTS usually... Avira does way better.

Recent test results (AV-TEST - Windows 7 - Feb 2016):

Very nice test, thank you for sharing @minegroasprilla Great product to use But what about "Slower installation of frequently-used applications - 20 installed applications" - how come 123% on a high-end PC?!?

After reading some rave reviews about 360 TS (Gizmo's Freeware ranking it best free AV swung it) I've finally got round to trying it. Ufortunately RAM usage is way higher than my previous AV, Panda (360's 4 processes total nearly 100MB as opposed to Panda's 15MB), and that's on 'balanced', without Avira and Bitdefender engines.

What's RAM like with others here? My first impressions are it seems rather bloated.

~235 MB in sum on Security preset, Avira and BD deactivated. But not really noticeable (4 GB RAM).

Ok, seems RAM dependant at least, I've a new machine here, resource usage about yours, prefs and settings maxed out of course.. Maybe ShadowDefender ups the resource usage of QTS360, too. Effective? Absolutely

EDIT: This one has both Avira and BD running.

How good is 360? My friend uses it but most anti-viruses besides Avast! Don't seem to run that well for me.

How good is 360? My friend uses it but most anti-viruses besides Avast! Don't seem to run that well for me.

Pro:
Running flawlessly, feels light,gets programme updates quite often, and their own detections (I think those are all cloud based) are fast reacting to new threats, SUD reports can be answered within hours, at least in the morning after SUD (on weekends, they seem not to work).
However, QTS360 tends to whitelist chinese PUP/PUA, do not expect them to be found during scan (however, BB/HIPS can pop up if something tries to amend registry entries).
Very good HIPS/BB, auto-declines after 30 seconds, let's the user decide on what to do (description of the possible unwanted change included - e.g. registry entry).
Free.

Contra:
They cheated at some AV tests (Antivirus Company Qihoo Censured for Cheating in Lab Tests)
They whitelisted malicious software without testing, at least two current articles to be found in MT News section (Chinese Hackers Bribe Their Way onto Qihoo App Store)
You haven't got expert settings like in in Kaspersky or Avast!, only those Security Presets and some options in "Settings"
Some HIPS/BB actions are done (allowed) automatically, this can be an issue with those chinese PUPs/PUAs.

Feel free to visit the Hub, I'm testing QTS360 cloud only, works very very well. Decide on your own regarding those Contras.

EDIT: Here's the second article:
Sophisticated Bribe Scheme Helped Crooks Whitelist Malware on Chinese Antivirus

I also think less experienced users need to be very wary of what's being deleted/changed if they use any of the optimization tools and as far as I can see 360 TS doesn't provide a way of reversing these changes in the UI.

Anyway I'll stick with it for a bit. Not at all impressed so far though.

Edit: Just noticed speedup changes are shown under History.

I did notice also recently in past months after recent updates there ram usage is much higher even without the avira and BD engines ,still good but higher

So, in conclusion, Qihoo is not a good antivirus.

So, in conclusion, Qihoo is not a good antivirus.

Technically, it's awesome. The rest lies in the eye of the beholder.
I don't know if you can trust any vendor by 100%, I'll stick to Qihoo regardless of those news for the moment - as long as they don't touch me. It runs flawlessly, and I'm not willing to change a proven, running system.

I'm actually coming round to thinking it's pretty awesome too. In balanced mode it's now settled down to a fairly reasonable 30MG or so total RAM, and about 50MG RAM when the UI is open. Security mode with Avira and Bitdefender is unusable though, frequently spiking to 300+MG RAM and 50% CPU. Balanced mode is good enough for me though. I now think the various optimization tools are pretty good. There's no registry cleaner involved so it's probably safe to accept their recommendations. I also had some serious concerns about Qihoo and that was why I waited so long to try 360.

I also use Zemana Antilogger Free and as 360 TS has an anti keylogger component I was wondering if there might be conflicts but disabling ZAL does't seem to make much difference. I don't know if there's any point in still using ZAL.
