[viktik]

Post any cons in baidu antivirus that you know.
Also tell about Pros and its strength.

Pros : Good malware detection rate
Cons : Very weak proactive protection

Difficult to uninstall.Had to use JRT for removing traces.

 

[Oxygen]

I personally don't like baidu because they put so many un-needed features into the program.

 

[Manzai]

Cons : Bad proactivity, Update slow, Difficulte to uninstall
Good : Good detection, good UI

I think most of members take opposite place with baidu.
but truth is something else baidu may not be the best in protection but i think it is usefull and handy in some situation.
baidu performance is good enough and does not have impact on old or weak systems nowadays with heavy antiviruses suite like kaspersky and
their impacts on Performance Boot, shut down,gaming....etc
i think baidu could be a good choice for gamers or at least people with low risk of getting infection...
active protecion is good but an another protection software for demand scan is a good choice like emsisoft and malwarebyte anti malware just for better safety and get rid out of PUP.(or a mix with Comodo Firewall With Hips On and Auto Sandbox a dramatic performance and protection even better than eset(in performance))
i think cons is just as protection almost zero day protection!
and i commend all members if anyone want to install baidu it is better to work with it's cleaner*Baidu Pc Faster) working good and optimal together.

Don't talk like that of Chinese products.

 

[FreddyFreeloader]

Won't run in a non-administrator account,
Leaves behind several drivers after uninstalling,
Install process takes about the longest time of any AV software.

What's the difference between the regular download and Baidu Security Suite download?

Installing Baidu AV now under avast! Sandbox.

Avast is worse than Qihoo, you know this. Every detection in Avast, your software sends information about detection and file to Avast.I just want to give an example, list goes long...

The Avast is worse than Qihoo, everybody knows that, avast has only name and popularity!, then respect the Chinese products or the list will be long.

Leave them, @OpenSecLabs wrote a article about it but people do whatever they want and they believe.

I'm not saying that Quiho, Baidu, PC Faster and others are bad, in fact in my post i said that as heuristic cloud-based excellente have good protection and others. What I mentioned is how they propagate / force to get their products just look at third-party installers PUP included that will see some Chinese product. Anyway do not like this policy but each chooses what you'll feel protected.

Finally, china is the pirate of tecnology and that's a fact.

Interesting.

This reminds me of an active piece of malware constantly scanning for programs like mbam.exe and terminating them when detected to prevent removal of itself.
