I am deciding bewtween Panda Free 2016 and 360 Total Security. I know 360 has really good protections but have also heard that they tend to quarantine Windows system files. I do not know much about Panda except that it is heavily reliant on cloud, which is fine and they do decent in independent testing. I would like your opinion on which one you think is better for a reliable, effective, and light antivirus experience.

Qihoo has one of the best detection, the downside is a lot of false positive, if you use all the engines in real time it will use a lot of memory.

About Panda Cloud, well, it's a decent product.

Seems 360 TS contains backup engines and numerous features then you should satisfy for your needs. Meanwhile Panda Free 2016 may have fine tune cloud but those offline signatures are pretty inadequate.

Use 360 TS Essentials... you don't need the Speed Up or Optimize option. Speed Up can cause problems on your system. It boinked mine during testing.

You need enough RAM if you are going to use Avira & Bitdefender signatures... which you should use them otherwise you are not fully protected.

Qihoo 360 uses multiple scan engines and this increases capabilities of malware recognition but at the same time increasing false positives.
Panda is a small client and perform almost all the job in the cloud, then it is light on your system.
Panda sometimes also detects FP.

Hello friends i install 360 to me and two friends more,state with 3 months and all we ended up with virus on the PC to my 360 it seems to me a antivirus bad.
If you install Qihoo 360 with default settings then there is no offline protection, you need to enable Avira or Bitdefender engine or use a companion AV for offline protection.

Not try to be offending, but are you using Google Translator? Because your sentence structure and grammar are terrible. I do understand not everyone in this forum are " born in U.S" or " English is my native language" but at least have a good grammar and a sentence structure can makes your life and everyone else life easier when they are reading your post.

@vindiesel : Few of antivirus focus much on cure capabilities in heavy infection than prevention which why failure meets no matter it contains in-house or muti engines.

Do not install an AV in a unclean state.
