Qihoo360 1 engine

[blueblackwow65]

Hi has anyone ever used qihoo360 with just 1 engine and what were the results compared to 3 engines for finding viruses,malware etc? I ask this because when I used to use it I found it a resourse hog at around 160-200 megs ram. I also found Bitdefender engine to have trouble updating ,so maybe 1 engine is enough .Thks

Many users in this forum that use Qihoo use the cloud engine only, as you said it saves RAM and overall resources. On top of that it is probably the most complete database between the 3 engines. If you compare online and offline tests for Qihoo, you'd see that most of it's detections actually come from the cloud engine.

So to answer your question yes one engine provides a strong enough detection for you.

yeah, I run TSE without the BD and Avira engines... more than strong enough

1 engine is more than enough as long as you have internet connection.

I always recommend using the developers site, otherwise Majorgeeks or Softpedia.

Qihoo 360 Total Security Download - 360 Total Security | Download Free Antivirus for PC (Redirect 360 Total Security Download)
Qihoo 360 Total Security Essentials Download - 360 Total Security Essential | Download Free Antivirus for PC (The Full Package download is with Avira and Bitdefender definitions)

I download from 360safe . I recommend 360 TSE unless you want a bunch of extras that 360 Total Security offers. Bitdefender runs a day later than Avira. My sys is light & I can run both with no problem.

I am trying 360TS now with only extra Avira at about 26megs ram used , i find though it slows some web pages

Is scanning files when opened needed and if so will it bog down computer?
