Battle Qihoo 360 VS ESET Smart Security 8

[Manzai]

Hello

Are you like ESET or Qihoo

For me

ESET : Good detection, very light but bad in 0-day malware (No configuration)

Qihoo : Very good detection, light but too many false positive and update for BD and Avira engine (1 update / day )

Both use cloud then is not verry good
But Myself Internet security is the best ^^ Just intelligence is required.

 

[TrojanSmart]

Qihoo, on issues of false positives, it's good to report to team360safe!, he'll receive updates yet ...
Thanks for the opportunity!

 

[Paul Lee]

Very tough decision, but I would go with ESET on this one. Personally, I think that it's not that likely that you will get infected with 0-day malware. But that's just me

Please specify which 360 version you are talking about IS or TS?

IS and TS

Look at my signature and you know which AV I like.

 

[MikeV]

ok, so let's go........
Qihoo IS is more stable with less to almost no false positives and detection rate equal and some times better than TS.
Qihoo TS is under development, has bugs, it uses high ram usage (with BD & Avira enabled).

So i will go for 360 INTERNET SECURITY for now.

Now as about 360 IS vs Eset SS
RAM USAGE : 360IS = 20 - 30MB, ESET = 90 - 100MB
System Response: BOTH the same
Detection Rate: 360IS
WEBProtection : ESET
Behavior Blocker : 360IS
PUP Detection: ESET
Support: BOTH the same
Scan Time : 360IS
Faster response to 0 day threats with new signatures: ESET
0 Day defense: 360 IS

The choice is yours

My personal experine with eset and 360 TS:
I remember 2 years before, I was using ESS. I uesd it for 2 month only,because of its one of the issue. After updation ESS, I found that, When I right clicked my system was hanged up.I was continously in contact with eset team. They were failed to reolve my proble. finally I was switched to Trend micro.
After this from the month of June of this year I again switched to Eset nod 32. No doubt it is lightweight and has strong protection.Bu sometimes I found that when I wanted to open big size image or VLC or wanted to open any hard drive of my pc, it taking long time time to open. sometimes my browsers got hanged for few second to a minute . I was not aware that this is due to the eset. But I realised this is haapned due to eset .becoz few days before I switched to 360 TS and these problem vanishes surprisingly

Yes after using 360 TS, those big image files,vlc and system drive opens up very quickly.And feeling more lightweight than Eset

I m not too much expert comment on Eset. And yes Eset has very good protection. But I think experience is important.And as per my experience, my vote is to 360 TS.. ( sorry for the bad english )

 

[donbosco]

in my choice . ESET is the famous software trademark while 360 is is new software trademark but to make and control by chiness so everyone should seem, may be by government china but should not use for user although using engine BD and Avira is very famous.
i chose ESET.thank

 

[Anupam]

for me Qihoo TS/IS because ESET and QIHOO TS/IS protection wise both are almost same and it 's FREE.

 

[Petrovic]

I'm aware of it. but if you dont use BD engine it dropped down and its not that bad. i'm talking about 360IS not TS.
ESET as well has a lot of FPs. If you are looking for non FPs use MSE. the best on this field. it all depending on the user, every user has different needs

I rarely see FPs from ESET, Qihoo has thousands of them. This AV is a joke.

[NikolayfromRussia]

I vote for eset.

 

[nissimezra]

I vote for eset.

its two different field one is paid one is free, but still I do think that 360 has better zero day protection for unknown malware. regarding signature i they have the same.
the big advantage that ESET has is the web filter.

I would very well use ESET Nod32 or SmartSecurity, over 360 Internet Security or Total Security.

ESET is a well recognised security vendor, with a lot higher reputation than 360, especially in Europe/USA regions. I do trust this company more than a Chinese-to-English-market company.

ESET provide security solutions for Home and Business for Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac OS users, as well as mobile users. They release products that are stable and safe to use for any user. Although some users may complain that in their most recent product update, not a lot was changed. They have remained focused at improving their existing product, without having hey haven't diverted their attention to non-security features (ie. junk cleaners, browser extensions).

While ESET is a paid solution, it does (so I've read) have higher PUP detection than it's competitors. ESET also provide free tools, as bonus removal is free too.

But wait, while 360 may claim to higher detection rates and more features, it also comes with more False Positives and other software bugs (ie. mainly 360TS). Therefore, it does not get my vote.

Before I vote, the following has not affected my decision:
- Product license cost
- Detection rates
- Prevention features

Voted: ESET Nod32 Antivirus / Smart Security (for Windows).

A PC user with reasonable knowledge and Internet threat awareness, will do much better with a stable security product. And yes, it's a paid product, but they do offer Free Tools (ie. ESET Online Scanner, SysInspector).

Thanks for reading.

ESET:
- very low FP rate
- great HIPS
- great malware detection
- great PUP detection
- doesn't copy detections from other vendors

Qihoo:
- better detection
- very high FP rate
- average PUP detection
- copies detections from other vendors

 

[Petrovic]

Voted: ESET Nod32 Antivirus / Smart Security (for Windows).

ESET has powerful anti-virus lab and doesn't use third-party technologies

 

[BoraMurdar]

Only true AV's, at this moment, are Avast, AVG, Avira, Dr.Web, Bitdefender, F Secure (own lab, own engine), ESET, Panda, Kaspersky, Trend Micro, McAfee, Sophos and Norton. My top 3 always were ESET, Kaspersky and Norton.
Others are just copying one or more of them, using their engines, their definitions, or both, making hybrid Antivirus solutions that are too heavy or too unstable, having too false positives, and for the sanity, they are just 2 or more AV's combined together. IMO others are not comparable to these above in any possible way.

Hi brother, why do you only make 2 choices AV? while many AV options, like KIS 2015 etc.. but you make only 2 choices, so I chose ESET
