[QUOTE="devjit2020, post: 985013, member: 94800"] Correct me If I'm wrong but the last time I used QH it didn't have a HIPS. Have they added one recently? They do have a behavioural blocker but it needs to be tweaked to block threats. QH is an Indian company (I live in India) and they have a solid user base here. In fact it's the most used AV here and it's very good in catching local threats. Yeah you're right about their signatures....they are just average. They do have some good points though- 1) QH can repair infected files instead of deleting them. 2) It has a browser sandbox where you can sandbox browsers except Edge. 3) It has a dedicated banking mode (again no support for edge though). 4) It has a good web protection although their signatures are just average. 5) It's mostly light on resources with the exception of RAM usage. It uses about 250-350MB RAM. If you have 8GB or more no problem. 5) Their behaviour blocker is extremely effective against ransomware(hope you're listening ESET moderators) although it does not have the ability to roll back the actions. You will lose a couple of files before the anti ransomware module kicks in. So make sure to have a proper back-up. 6) The firewall is also good and effective but again that needs to be tweaked too to get the maximum protection. [/QUOTE]
