[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 759406, member: 32547"] This is true. I think it's maybe the best for this. Well, a couple of things come to mind here, since I have been working with 360 since 2012. It really hasn't changed much in that time, except that the ransomeware plagues sort of pushed a-v companies very hard for solutions and so changes have come to 360 to answer this phenomenon. I like 360 too, and the File Protection application is not useless. It works and will protect files, even if not very sophisticated and with some shortcomings. For example, it doesn't populate the backup folder with files when it is installed. Only files that are created new or changed and saved are added to the backup folder. Second thing is a somewhat complicated context in that the companies that have done the best job against, for example, WannaCry, have used default deny at the drop of a hat to kick the user into a safer mode (cloud analysis or sandbox as with Comodo) or they have used like Kaspersky roll back. 360 doesn't have this level of sophistication. Personally, I would like to see a full stop of any process like WannaCry, even if it has already encrypted some files and then on the alert maybe make the default option to sandbox the process and send the file to Qihoo. Maybe they could also create a HIPS rule for encryption/alteration/deletion of files in user designated areas, also. User can restore damaged/maliciouly altered files any number of ways. Also, a simple concept such as the one in the program Easy File Locker could be very useful in 360. Assign allowed processes to directories. I wonder what 360 will be like in 5 years. My guess is the company will feel confident enough to further "westernize" their approach to security enough, so that they can find a way onto endpoints and other PCs in, say, Europe or the middle east, Easter Europe etc. The program seems to have a way to go before it's at a competitive level in this way. How does any a-v compete with Kaspersky Security Cloud? Kaspersky seem to have outdone themselves for a free a-v. The "Always combo" phrase is classically true with 360. It's a piece of a layered approach. I find especially the BB and System Protection alerts helpful. Also, the tools are helpful, such as the sandbox.

Comodo Firewall is good, yes, but if you would like some file detection on the side 360 runs light (especially TSE), so it's a good companion imo, even if not necessary for some... Almost forgot.
