I downloaded samples on the desktop and no alert from 360 TS, it is sleeping..
Only detects after I scan..Weird
Happens to me for heuristic detections too! I also think my bitdefender engine has stopped working for real time scanning as of now

I was only using 360 CLoud and QVM
I think only the QVM engine scans your file real time when you unzip files, the cloud engine scans it when there is a manual scan done, I could be wrong but that's what it looks like

Normally samples are downloaded in a password protected zip file that's why it doesn't get picked up first. When it is unzipped TS should be able to detect the file but it normally doesn't until you manually scan it.

Password protected files are not a problem for 360 internet security. If you download a password protected zip file 360 will pop up asking you to put the password, and when you do this 360 will start immediately to detect viruses, even if you don't open the folder.
Once more i say that 360 internet security is more stable with less (almost no) false positives, and more light than 360 Total security.
