is qihoo 360 safe

[Andrew999]

I have heard from a lot of places that qihoo is unsafe and that they spy on you and steal your data if anyone knows I would really like to know thanks

i don't think so. It is just a claim.

Even if qihoo products has spyware. Its software's are out in open for years. Then why other anti-spyware companies never detected any spyware in qihoo. Wouldn't this be very big failure by other antivirus/anti-spyware vendors. You can also say that other antivirus and anti-spyware software does not work because they never detected any spyware in qihoo products.

I 'm paranoid security and took more than a year with Qihoo ... and do not change.

You can enhance it with Comodo Firewall or Online Armor Free ( I used this one) , but ultimately to download torrents and browse in internet I keep Qihoo and the Windows firewall .

I recommend you visit the "Virus Exchange " section and see many antivirus detection and like Qihoo is always among the best .

If we are pertaining to actual software itself then its not a malicious, data transmission depends on how AV's like Qihoo perform those actions to collect statistics and information. Privacy policy will be the basis on its declared terms and conditions.

Qihoo gives you rock solid anti-virus absolutely Free. So what if Qihoo spies on you & steals your data, right

A lot of Free/Paid software will collect data, just review their Privacy Policy / EULA before using it.

For example, Bitdefender products have anonymous data collection on by default, and you're required to opt-out, but it doesn't mean it's unsafe to use. Participating in avast's Community IQ, Kaspersky KSN and other cloud-services for security products all lower your privacy in return for a slight increase in cloud-protection - You'll need to check what gets sent, the file hash or actual file.

I think it's safe. Personally I do not trust Chinese software, especially security software - but then many would say why do you trust Kaspersky and their KSN, so it swings in-rounder-about's

in china we trust!

qihoo is by far the best free av right now.

The positive feedback for Qihoo here (thanks to my MT friends) eases my sense of security. Viewed as either sensible or foolhardy, I trust in your opinions before China or any nation. Power to the people (on MT), Er... and E Pluribus Unum too!!

If Qihoo goes from Free to Paid these very same aficionados will drop it like a hot potato in the blink of an eye.

Qihoo is not safe

Hope you got a bullet proof vest You can get shot at for making that statement on MalwareTips

 

[Terry Ganzi]

I personally will not swear for any software or program but 1 thing is certain Qihoo 360 Total Security or Qihoo 360 Internet Security is a dam great Anti-Virus,you can bet your top dollar on that.

But of course! If you incorporate Avira & Bitdefender engines you will get a damn good Anti-Virus.

Would you bet your bottom dollar on the topic of the thread : is qihoo 360 safe ?

 

[Chromatinfish 123]

Qihoo is safe- It's OK as long as you download it from http://www.360safe.com and not some crack.

Safe = Privacy issues = Transmission of Personal User Information to Qihoo 360 Technology Co. Ltd. Beijing, China.

Can you vouch for Qihoo being safe on that count ?

[Puchku Chele]

Is 360 good? I am very much afraid of Chinese Products.
