I 'm not very fan of their privacy policy.
there are people who do not like it just because it is a Chinese product and therefore suspect . others do not trust free products.
well, all products collect user data, the important thing is knowing what to do with them and how protect them.
Qihoo privacy policy: http://www.360totalsecurity.com/pt/privacy/
it's better if you read and extract your opinion about the product.
if a person wants 100 % privacy is best not to use the intenet or social networks.
one thing puzzles me - until the avast has a free product and can be better than many paid, how they make money?
many people use the free version of their products ... some data collection should be.
this question seems a novel...

Personally I think all users are subjected to have their data sold to other companies regardless of what they say. They are a free solution and have absolutely no way of making money other than ads and selling data. Since they barely have any ads about themselves, they have to rely on selling the data they gathered so they can continue their service. Not only are these paying for the income of the tech people who work at 360, it is also paying for the servers they use to run the cloud scanning and stuff. Not only that they have bitdefender and avira engines which they have to licence, which also cost a lot of money.

the problem is that they do not provide much confidence in data protection.

Very similar in depth thread discussion: Is Qihoo Safe? Season 1 discussion
To make it clarified as possible, the program is totally safe but its your decision if willing to accept their privacy policy.
Qihoo's benefits: Multi AV engines (Bitdefender + Avira both signatures) + QVM + Cloud
Downside: FP's rates from their QVM as some users stated.
Now the controversy happened before should not dramatically affect the performance of the AV but again there's nothing to lost if you install Qihoo though. Yes its made from China but not literal what we call 'substandard'.

Bottom Line:
Got doubts or unsure? Then don't use it.

which makes me fear is that the company is often cited as a fraud and constantly stand to be criticized . We read many articles that classified Qihoo as a non- credible company.
I do not care if the Chinese or the Russians have my personal data.
but as a company little known in the West, they were to show that its policies are credible and secure.

Oh? Specifically like...? What did Qihoo actually do that was fraudulent? (not what the rumours are)
"little known in the west" is only a testament to the west's ignorance and nothing else

The qihoo app was deleted from apple store cause it was doing things really suspicious.
If you search a little you will find many news talking about that ^^

please, read.
articles like these, made many users fear use Qihoo products.
I'm not saying that Qihoo committed any fraud . only news that these appear very often accusing the company and this raises many doubts and questions in Western users.
each person must decide whether to trust and use their products.

Well, no, that is an accusation; I asked for what Qihoo actually did.

We're not talking about google, we're talking about qihoo.
Qihoo got a bad reputation about privacy cause they were doing thing really suspicious on pc and phones.
