App Review Huawei HiSec Endpoint Protection 2025

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Huawei is a well-known Chinese company.
It is famous for its telecommunications products (antennas, routers, Wi-Fi access points) and mobile devices (smartphones, smartwatches, etc.). In short, Huawei is a giant in China.
However, Huawei is less well known (outside of China) for its anti-malware solutions.
The program is designed for businesses and brings together all of Huawei's expertise.
So what is it really like?



Interface :

Huawei, like all antivirus software from China, is colorful and easy to use.
However, Huawei does not offer any specific configuration options; everything is designed for beginners!
Install it and forget about it.

Web protection: 6/9
3 infections missed by Huawei HiSec, including a RAT that will patch RegSvcs.exe and a NetSupport that will install without any reaction.
1 URL is dead.

Fake crack : 0/1
No detection

Malware Pack : Remaining 29 threats out of 75
After a disappointing result, Huawei HiSec continues to play its cards badly and ends up even more infected than with the URLs.
Huawei will certainly try to defend itself by blocking the installation of the FormBook Trojan, for example, but that will not be enough.
The processes are increasingly injected until the arrival of Yurei Ransomware, which completes the test.

Final scan : PC encrypted

Final opinion:

Huawei has the technology and, above all, the expertise to combat threats, but in my opinion, these are underutilized.
The machine quickly becomes infected, and the program lacks responsiveness in terms of anti-malware and, above all, behavioral protection.
In terms of behavior, Huawei reacts too little due to a lack of proactivity and shields.
Not recommended.

As effective as always! Thank you for the test. I might as well install malware since the difference between the two apps is minimal.
 
You can use the "deepscan" folder of the Chinese version 360safe to overwrite the same directory on 360ts and use the Chinese version cloud.
I did that and it worked. But after upgrading to a new version of 360 TS, it needed to be done again.

They have a free Personal EDR Agent you can download and install on Windows in English.

A review is here on comss.ru. User feedback appears mixed.

Huawei offers a free antivirus for Windows, HiSec Endpoint, which provides enterprise-grade protection for personal devices. Using artificial intelligence and EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) technologies, the program blocks threats, including ransomware and cryptominers, with high accuracy.

Huawei HiSec Endpoint is a new solution for protecting personal devices running Windows. Equipped with EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) features, this antivirus from Huawei uses artificial intelligence algorithms to identify and block a variety of threats, including ransomware, cryptominers, and advanced stealthy attacks.

Huawei HiSec Endpoint (EDR Agent Personal) is designed for personal users and offers enterprise-grade protection. Huawei's solution provides a high level of security through the use of intelligent analysis and behavioral detection mechanisms. The program works on Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above, providing users with comprehensive protection at no additional cost.


Huawei has a paid version for enterprise/corporate deployment.

I tried installing it and the installer kept looking for phantom Huawei services that weren't even installed that it wanted to shut down. Never seen anything like it in a program installer!

Left feedback with Huawei.
 
To be fair, its relatively new and we should give them time.

Like I said, it was hilarious the free version tried to shut down Huawei processes that weren't even installed to begin with.

Who writes such nonsense to the installer? It should just do its job!

I just tried this HiSec in my Test Machine.
It does look familiar to Huorong GUI. Very similar.
Now I wonder if they are co-developed.
The UI of antivirus software in China is all copying each other. You will also find that Huawei's virus handling interface looks quite similar to BitDefender's, Antiy's Yunxi Antivirus also copied Huorong's UI, 360 and Tencent copy each other as well, and Rising copied Tencent's UI...

Huawei's automatic updates are faulty, and I suspect that Huawei intentionally prevented the personal version from updating automatically. At first, it was sometimes possible but sometimes not, and then it was completely impossible. Now, automatic updates are no longer possible and can only be done manually. But we can create a task plan that replaces the engine files with old versions using batch processing during system startup. After booting and logging in, it will trigger its self-healing mechanism, automatically fixing the virus database to the latest version. This means that our computer will automatically update every time it is turned on., without recording any logs.
I have a ready-made:
Remove the. txt suffix, extract it, and create a task plan for the bat file inside.The triggering condition is that at system startup,Select SYSTEM account.
ensuring that the Huawei installation is in the default path. If not, you need to change the path in the bat.
Ensure that there are no other files in the folder except for bat and engine files.

No wonder it didn't update!
I need to click the UPGRADE button manually to update the latest definitions.
