App Review Of Worms, USB Drives, and Qihoo

[Parsh]

For a free product it is indeed quite good. Their heuristics catch a lot of unknowns and they have a large user base. According to them they say they have "584 million users protected worldwide" on their homepage. Isn't that larger than Avast right now? And it looks like its keeping up with Kaspersky on the latest malware packs. For example here it beat Kaspersky as it doesn't have a signature for this file yet:

It's tempting for me to switch when I see good results like that.

With Qihoo and an online system, protection of the computer vastly depends on the understanding and the decisions of the user, and most people who have given it a spin will agree. It is many a times ahead for the same reason I mentioned earlier, and it is often impressive.
Mainly due to its Chinese market, it has got such a huge user-base.
Lack of customization (compare with Avast, KAV/KIS..), privacy issues, a bloated app (TSE is lighter than TS but it hasn't been updated since long) and the many alerts generated are the points that one must consider while adopting or discarding it.
Also, the use of Qihoo+BD engine (for eg.) doesn't noticeably slow down the system.
Try it, it indeed is a great product to keep as long as you find it worthy.

Qihoo is also a good product thanks to Avira and BD engine.
Without them, it does not behave too well in a static control. Definitely more good his hips.
