Its a false positive, download is safe.

360 Browser is a Chromium clone with added features, so far I can not find the complete description of the product.

Enjoy!!

Oh, here's a funny bit for anyone interested. I actually asked Comodo about it. I mean, Qihu/Qihoo is a trusted company, part of Comodo's Trusted Vendor list. Comodo also deals with DNS, so how can the same company be trusted for one thing and not for another? Here's the response I got:

Hello,

Please be advised that the domain down.360safe.com has been blocked due to the domain is blacklisted by numerous black list engines.

Regards,

Technical Support

(emphasis added)

Shouldn't it be their job to actually determine the safety of a web address?

Comodo, like many others, gets their website blocklist from any number of aggregators. I'm not at all surprised that Qihoo is on some.

This goes back to the China Browser Wars. A number of years ago Baidu had most of the Chinese search market locked up (over 95%), and Qihoo was just a small AV company. Qihoo then developed a search engine which they combined with a browser in order to get a piece of the action. They were a tad aggressive- like the installer simultaneously uninstalling the Baidu browser, other times the Qihoo AV detecting a Baidu product as malware, etc. Not surprisingly the Chinese Qihoo browser was something approaching a rogue (and thus the website blocks).

But no matter- this strategy has lifted Qihoo from an AV company worth a few hundred million USD to an AV/Search giant (they now have about 15% of the market) worth a bit more than 10 billion USD in just a few years. Baidu is certainly not blameless, as they have used similar tricks to kill off Qihoo. My personal favorite was when they hired a hacker to publish a paper that accused the Qihoo browser of collecting personal information. Turns out that this was nothing other than malicious URL checking. Qihoo has since sued the original publisher of the paper for slander, main points can be found here:

The browser itself is pretty good, but for me i hate that it doesn't stay up to date with chrome almost always it is about 2 version behind.

this browser is safe to use? i mean, old chromium engine and stuff you know. For the moment i use it with 360 sandbox xD
if you guys tell me that is safe, i could run it normally. if not, then uninstall is the solution.

Using it in Sandboxie will protect your system but not your privacy, log on info for websites, credit card numbers if shopping or paying bills online, etc. also may lack other security, privacy and performance features available in updated Google Chrome.

Enjoy!!

Hello everyone!

It's a Proprietary browser which is not Chrome nor Opera, so I don't recommend 360 Web Browser
