Wow i will deinstall dont need any Whitelisted Adware on my Pc .

Any recommendations for a good free AV ? ( Beside Avast it runs crap on my pc )
Bitdefender free if you want the best protection and Windows defender if you want the best performance.

It's not an ad, Qihoo just shows your startup time to analyse if any service or applications or if any junkware are slowing down your PC using it's Speedup or Cleanup functions.

To disable it, go to Settings->General->Show boot time after startup and disable it.

So it isnt an add if it shows me UNDER the start time to date Single girls in my City and to use a driver Update tool ?

Doesnt this sound like adware ? lol.

Can you provide a screenshot of the Ads that are appearing? Remember to censor out any inappropriate images before posting.

I already uninstalled it. but they appeared every 2 or 4 days and had a timer on them for 15 seconds after that they closed.. under the Boot time windows same size as the boot time window but under it.
Probably try it in a VM leave it installed and open the vpn every some days probably it appears ( dont forget i scanned with Multiple av my machine is clean )

All I know for Qihoo is they show your startup time check and vulnerability scanner for notification.

But since it is discovered to have advertisement inside on a security product then not surprise since Qihoo considered as Free Product.

That doesn't sound like Qihoo. Been using it for months, and never had this kind of advertisement. The only ad that appears for me like Huracan mentioned is in the Toolbox tab showing recommended free games, and which is extremely non-obtrusive.

Validate your argument with a screenshot, because it might be coming from other sources and not from Qihoo.

i will reinstall and recheck .i used it myself Months. i think it started after the last Version.

as i said scanned my PC with ZAM , Malwarebytes and some other AV all clean. Qihoo Uninstalled and had yet no AD notification anymore.

for ads i got ADGUARD installed. but i didnt want to add Qihoo to the filter.

Believe me or not. its not interesting me

TL;DR

was satisfied with Qihoo Ts months then they #####ed up for me.

Uninstalling was a smart move in my opinion.
Like AlphaBeta states Bitdefender will work nicely with Win10
and is a smart move as well.
