Yesterday I had a bunch of spyware and some malware on my computer. I ran the 360 total security. It told me there was zero. I ran my anti spyware. it said 4 infected. I taken care of that. I ran my antimalware. It said there were 6 infections. I taken care of that. So I went back to Panada free Antivirus. I am going to stay with one for a while.

You do realize millions of new malware/spyware is creating everyday, nothing has 100% detection even if they say they do. Also don't believe everything your antivirus says to be a virus because most antiviruses detects some false positives.


You might as well uninstall Panda because it has lower detection rate.

Mere with all due respect , I think you're wrong.
It is best to accompany a good antivirus and a good firewall. Whether you go back to Qihoo as if you keep Panda, which for me is great, but not as much as the 360 TS . Accompany the Online Armor Free Firewall http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/oa/ as Comodo Firewall https://personalfirewall.comodo.com/free-download.html
Each will recommend one, the first , both are excellent, but free Online Armor does not need much knowledge
.
Kind regards .

clearly he is trying to defame Qihoo.

Can you show the screenshot or atleast upload the files to Virus Total and share the screenshot?

I do not believe acquisition when someone is saying "my anti spyware" and "my antimalware". Atleast provide the names.

Qihoo has great detections for malware, but not so great when it comes to PUPs, I emailed them once about this and they further clarified that they don't have a specific database for the PUPs if you're just using their engines. But I think if you enable Avira and Bitdefender engines they should take care of the PUPs just fine.

Tell specific if it was adware, spyware, riskware, virus, worm or trojans. Or it was just some registry entries.

Since Qihoo detection rate is very high I don't think any serious infection will be left after the scan.

Show logs of detected threats.

Does 360 TS work on a standard user account? I've heard it doesn't and many users were complaining about it.

Qihoo's own engine detects PUPs too.
Bitdefender and Avira aren't good at detecting PUPs.

Did you turn all to the maximum settings including Avira and Bitdefender? Because chances are they triggered more detections unless its an FP.
