I dont think so. TS it's the same as IS - with the Avira core addition.
That's like asking Avast, why let test free version only. They'll tell you : "We test basis, IS and Premier are better products !"
Which is stupid, because the only significant difference is the firewall... ;) The difference between Premier and free will practically 0...
360TS has the Avira engine, so it should be better than IS. In theory...
The version tested is 360IS 5.0 (Chinese) and I believe it also has the Avira definitions.

Why won't they send Qihoo TS version to the labs if that is the product that the company is concentrating on? Probably they don't believe it will rank up to the IS version.
I think Chinese version is tested. So, it is not Qihoo 360 internet security at all.
I do not understand why av-comparatives do not tell about the version of Qihoo antivirus...

Free anti-virus should have no place in this comparison chart since the majority of the products are paid products.

Yeah, I agree and actually that was my point too. :)

TS also has the Repair Engine as well.

Well, it seems that they compared Avast Free and AVG Internet Security in this test. I am quite sure that Avast IS is better than AVG IS.

I do not want provoke passions, but the real differences between Avast product is here :
https://www.avast.com/compare-antivirus

What a practical hat IS versus free ? Firewall and antispam. What has additionally Premier ? Nothing...
Therefore i say boldly, that the difference between Free and the Premier (hence IS) would be negligible.

And yes - i believe more (emotionally) Avast IS, than AVG IS.
But it's really emotional, so if tests say otherwise - they will be right.

No offence, but the difference between free & paid is never negligible, it is considerable ;)

Sandbox and Safe Zone features in Internet Security. Sandbox is definitely one important protection layer to catch suspicious and unknown files.

A sorry! Sandbox !
Avast free sandbox does not... But i would rather reviled Avast :)
As a user of Comodo FW and 360TS on this "detail" i always forget ;)

Safe Zone ? Hmmm... This is a very broad discussion. In short, i strongly doubt the greater efficiency (against the "standard").
Otherwise, yes - i would love to see a comparison of efficiency free vs. IS/Premier version.
Paid often does not automatically (much) better...
