I'm experiencing some problems with it. The program is configured for its "Balanced" setting under "Protection", meaning it should protect downloads and file write events.

But when I download a malware for testing, I get no detection. The file makes it to the download folder. But if I copy the file there, the new copy gets detected.

I contacted their support about the above issue. While we wait, I would like to know why it is that Qihoo offers some updates for Windows, including security-related updates, that I don't normally get from Windows Update itself? Why aren't these updates offered via the regular Windows Update channel?

I most definitely would not trust any third-party product to deliver Windows Updates.
If updates are no listed on Windows Updates component then your system does not need them.

Installing Windows Updates from third-party products could really cause problems.

Thanks. :D

TS also has a Smart Ignore function to leave out updates that could cause problems. How effective is it? I don't know, but I have been applying those updates for a long time and, so far, no problems.

Oh my... I have been getting updates through 360 TS for the last 2 days! A total of around 6 updates.

Could someone post a screenshot of this Windows Update feature?, I checked the images on Softpedia and there is nothing about this feature.

Thanks. :D
