Qihoo 360 Total Security Review

[Kent]

R u sure, brah? Mine get caught by qihoo TS plus qihoo TS always check downloaded files in my system wherever i put the download file

Cool! Which is better qihoo TS or qihoo IS? Currently using qihoo IS

 

[Koroke San]

It's depend on ur choice. If u prefer one more engine (avira) then try TS.TS proactive defense is working fine.

Better stay with Internet Security. After all it is more ''finalized'' than Total Security and if you see the virus exchange section both version have the same detection ratio, even if Total Security uses 1 more engine. Plus you will free more memory.......

On my computer, Total Security is using ~ 100 Mb, I have all engines active and protection set to "Security". The Internet Security is using about 25 - 30 Mb.

TS is using about 30 MB on my pc.

TS is using about 30 MB on my pc.

Then Bitdefender or Avira (or both) engines are not enabled.
1) Click on the ''virus scan'' tab and see if bitdefender and avira icons are colored or grey
2) if they are not colored (which means ''active'') then click on ''protection'' tab and click on the right big green button ''Switch Mode''
Set it to ''security'' or ''custom'' if you like to customize your security level/memory usage.

Both engines are enabled. I used Task Manager/ Performance & it was around 30 MB. Maybe this is the wrong way to check? Under processes it says its using 13,232 K.

This is impossible.......TS + both engines are more than 100Mb of ram.
Can you please upload a pic of your taskmanager (to my profile) so i can tell you what is going on?

nope sometimes 360 TS use less memory consumption. Right now mine is using around 22 MB only coz qihoo TS is in idle state i guess.

Paging File size depend on the amount of ram in your system. I used to have more than 8GB as my ram is 8 GB.

 

[marg]

Sorry Mike I don't know how to do that. Koroke San describes whats going on in my PC. It will fluctuate between 44% to 27% depending on what going on. I only have 1 app & thats Ccleaner.

How do I do that?

Paging File size depend on the amount of ram in your system. I used to have more than 8GB as my ram is 8 GB.

My total installed Ram is 3MB if that helps?

 

[Koroke San]

How do I do that?

type DXDIAG in search bar or in run command & check the page file usage.
and u mean 3gb ram, not 3mb i guess

 

[MikeV]

I have also 8GB of ram, but in my machine it was using about 178MB (all engines active). On idle it dropped to approximately 100MB

 

[marg]

Yes, its 3 GB Ram...haven't had my coffee yet. Page file says 841 MB used. Thanks for the nice info on DXDIAG. I never new it existed.

Size of Paging File depend on the amount of Ram your system in having(nothing about qihoo), whereas the Paging File always increased when a BSOD occur.

 

[looda]

on my pc qihoo is-is more lighter and faster and I like it more than qihoo ts

 

[PVA_BR]
