Hello, HK..
First of all, regarding your configuration:
1. You should add at least one on-demand scanner, like HitmanPro & MBAM.
2. You should add the following extensions to your browser: uBlock, WOT & HTTPS Everywhere
3. It's not stated, but if you don't have it, add CCleaner to clear your browsing activity.

Regarding 360, there have been some speculation, but only that. What you mentioned about a backdoor, it came from a chinese company (a competitor), and in China competitors act like that and say this or that about other companies. Its privacy policy is among the best, in my opinion. It seems like I'm defending them but that's because a product isn't bad, just because it's from a specific country. Google is not trustworthy for me, should I distrust every US product? Of course, I don't know what's goin' on in the background, but what I know is that it's a great product that can protect you better than others, free or paid.

Thanks for sharing!

Welcome.

To answer that question, well for the product itself of Qihoo yes it can be a trustworthy product since it has a reputable company of having their antivirus product to be distributed.

It was claimed that if its China then there are many conspiracy and controversy happen in the dark side but again not at all. Sometimes a tactics to backfire other products which such same issues.

see every Antivirus companies r a privacy risk to everyone bcoz it analyses and send to clouds and process etc.

but basically i don't trust 360 TS as its chinese and also chinese security suits generally spy on us
so i don't prefer it

i like Kaspersky ESEt etc

I've been using Qihoo for over a year and is the best AV I've ever had , including any payment I enjoyed in Trial version .
Is trustworthy ?,sure note that not long ago we learned that Avast spied us through an extension , Windows has had many cases google , etc.
Take this opportunity to welcome you and remember ... MT can be addictive.
