360 TS Essentials

[Deleted member 2913]

I am planning to install 360 TSE on few friends & relatives system.
I like its bloat free & thats now rare to find in a free AV.

Some queries
Is it fully cloud or stores small databases for offline protection?
Hows the protection?
Should I enable Avira & Bd?
Is Avira/Bd latest engine?
Is it fps prone?
What does online shopping protection do i.e some type of heur scan, etc...?

I would like to keep the HIPS part disabled as I find not suitable for average users.
What all should I remove from custom protection to disable HIPS part?

Can Avira/Bd be removed from GUI?
In settings, it mention something like uninstall unneeded engines.

I'll answer for what I know.
Is Avira/Bd latest engine? No.
Is it fps prone? it has FPs.
Hows the protection? better than average. very good. one of the best.
Should I enable Avira & Bd? I found the cloud engine more than enough. you should have at least 2gig of ram to enable them

yea i agree with nissimezra but i suggest enable Avira engine for when you are offline

Got 8GB ram, and I'm running ESET. I'm flying high and fast.

Is it fully cloud or stores small databases for offline protection? I believe it stores some for offline protection.
Hows the protection? The protection is perfect in my opinion. It even has really great scores on their reviews.
Should I enable Avira & Bd? You can if you would like.
Is Avira/Bd latest engine? No it isn't the latest engine.
Is it fps prone? It has false positives but so do many other AVs.

I already used the internet security and total security. are very good products in terms of protection. I would use the engine avira instead of bitdefender.
yes, they give many false positives, is a less polished product in relation to others as ESET or kaspersky but can offer a high level of protection and efficiency.
