[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 970999, member: 31436"] I'm using 360 Total Security, which comes with plenty of bloatware, and I don't mind. It's a rare case where the publisher has actually put some effort into the extras. For example, the speedup function does a good job of recommending unneeded startup items and services to disable. The junk cleaner can find a lot of junk to clean, because it is able to clean junk from a lot of third party apps. Sure, neither of those modules are needed in security software, but at least in this case they work well. I often see security software having a very basic junk cleaner which does not work well and, as a result, seems like a pointless addition. It's worth noting that despite the included bloatware, 360 TS is on the lightest antiviruses there is. I say this because I see posts from people thinking it must be heavy due to the bloat, but that's definitely not the case. In this case, I'm more concerned about the ads in the free version than the bloatware. [/QUOTE]
