Qihoo360 is Ranked No.1 in Software Industry for Vulnerability Detection and Protection Capacity

[Littlebits]

The main reason I don't trust AV's that use BitDefender's engine is the high false positives.
If detects many safe files not detected by any other AV. It is useless to report them because they will never remove the false positive detections. Most users might not even realize that some of the detections are false positives they are more likely to believe BitDefender's detections. It even detected some command prompt applications that I created and know are safe.

Sometimes I think they leave the false positive detections to make users think that they have infections to promote sales.

My advise if BitDefender detects a file, do research to make sure it is not a false positive detection.

Thanks.

All d talk you talking HMP use bitdefender engine & people trust it.
Emsisoft use bitdefender engine & people trust it.
Gdata use bitdefender engine & people trust it.
Avast don't use bitdefender engine but look what it does do=http://prntscr.com/3u3j2b

Oh dear...!

thats why i'd rather stick with low detection rate like MSE rather then losing my files with anti virus that act worse then a virus

Exactly, if you are a careful user you don't need a false positive king detecting your safe files.

Thanks.

All d false positive king you talking bout,how much hitman pro's you had to remove from people machines,how many emsisoft's you had to remove,how many gdata's you had to remove,how many 360's you had to remove, i don't mind you bumping you gums

when I worked repairing pc's i never used hitman pro or any other things with BD engine.
All the cleaning that I did I used MSERT.EXE, Windows defender offline, kaspersky recovery disk and combofix, i didn't even use MBAM. believe or not microsoft product are doing a good job with non zero day viruses and until the pc come to lab its no longer zero day

This is just a wild guess about 360 AV but, maybe the Cloud & QVM2 engine do all the work first. Then if something is found it unleashes Bitdefender & Avira? Just a guess.

I wouldn't even install it to a client pc, then i could be in trouble if it delete his files.

its a good idea to backup files for anyone planning to instal BD. from my experience

thx

Out of all of my customers that use a wide range of AV's and security products, BitDefender has caused the most problems with false positives. Sure all AV's will have some false positives but the false detections that BitDefender has is completely insane.

I never use any products to remove infections that have high false positives they just masks the real malware, make them more difficult to find and waste my time. This includes all product that use BitDefender's engine excluding Emsisoft because they actually whitelist many false positives from BT engine. I have been repairing malware infections for over 12 years just using simple tools and manual removal techniques. If MBAM and the common removal tools don't detect the infection and I can't find using manual removal techniques then I backup user files and reinstall Windows.

Enjoy!!

Man, just disable bitdefender engine if u don't like. Btw never seen any false positive with bitdefender on my system so guess bitdefender luvs me

as a beginner i ate a lot of crap backing up user stuff that were infected, reinstall windows won't solve the problem coz if u return the backup files it will reinfect the system, therefore first you need to clean the system before back it up, virus like bron.tok love to hide on my pictures folder.
u should try combofix.

cheers

If you've lost hope looking for an effective AV, just try Umbra Total Security. You will never fail.

it has a new feature called " IdbanU" : when UTS is installed for the first time and after the initial scan, if it find too much malwares , it saved you time and sweat and format your system right away.

 

[ForgottenSeer 19494]

Yeah, the first versions of the free bitdefender didn't offered a restore feature. It has it now but it still doesn't have any useful settings and this level of stupidity is driving me crazy. I thought Qihoo was ok, so many users and powerfull engines combined with good reviews. And they exist from 2005, why that bug is still here?

If you are going to disable engines then why not just use Avira instead of Qihoo 360?
Avira is a powerful enough engine by itself more power equals more false detections.

Thanks.

360 AV does have a Quarantine option so you can restore a detected file. I am not having any problems with false positives whatsoever. Everything its found has been legit as far as I know. It has found 3 IE 10 browser plugins I never knew I had. I caught all my nasty stuff by downloading free apps. I don't download stuff anymore.

Qihoo = shooting an egg with a Gatling gun...you will hit the egg but also the guy that just passed by

coz it depends on users what engines they prefer. if they have problems using avira & bitdefender engines, they simply disable it & qihoo 360 is lot better then avira. U can't underestimate qihoo cloud engine

Yes it's best free AV in the market so why microsoft sign a deal with chinese AV qihoo. I never had any problem with it's avira or bitdefender engine.

Qihoo is awesome.
