Which antivirus to choose - paid or free? Can a free antivirus guarantee a high level of security?

Is there any Android support platforms? Don't know which antivirus to choose?

In today's article we will talk about the free antivirus 360 Total Security.

Every third Chinese uses Qihoo 360 developments

The developer of the free antivirus 360 Total Security is the company Qihoo 360, which is unfamiliar to the average RuNet user, but quite popular in China.

Qihoo 360 was founded in 2005 and, having exchanged the first ten years, was able to enter and confidently remain among the top suppliers of antivirus products in the Chinese market.

In addition to the antivirus itself, the company has developed its own browser and search engine, which are no less popular among residents of the Middle Kingdom.

Note! Let's look at the numbers: at the end of June last year, the company's products were used by about 500 (!) million PC users and 650 million users mobile devices. For comparison, the entire population of the CIS today is 280 million.

The antivirus is positioned under the slogan “Simple but powerful.”

In its work, the program uses signature, proactive and cloud technologies, which, together with an innovative approach based on the use of 5 engines - Avira, BitDefender, QVM II, cloud and recovery engine 360 ​​Cloud and System Repair, provide on-line computer protection.

Important! 360 Total Security allows you to protect not only data, but also monitor for unauthorized control and use third party applications computer peripherals: Keyboard or webcam.

Antivirus is available in two versions: simplified 360 Total Security Essential and full 360 Total Security.

Both applications are identical in their ability to detect and prevent viruses.

The differences lie in several basic functions which the 360 ​​Total Security package has: checking the security of the Wi-Fi connection, cleaning temporary files, optimizing the system (working with the Startup menu, application services and system services).

Download, installation and first launch

To download the program you need to visit the official Web site (menu “Products” and select the required version product).

Besides Windows support(in Win XP - Windows 10) and Andorid platforms, the antivirus can also be installed on Mac OS X (OS X 10.7 - OS X 10.10).

The antivirus is available for download in two versions - full package for offline installation and a small, starter installer like the one used in Skype.

Note! Before installing any antivirus, incl. and 360 Total Security, you should make sure that no other antivirus programs are installed on your computer. If two or more antiviruses are installed, the operating system may become unstable.

Installation is trivial - select the language, get acquainted and agree to the terms license agreement and privacy policy.

Whether to join the “Software Quality Improvement Program” or not is up to everyone to decide for themselves (we won’t), you can also change the standard installation directory by going to the “Settings” item.

After installation, the main menu of the program will open with a proposal to perform a full scan of the computer.

Overview of main functions

The user is given 3 scanning modes to choose from - custom, full or quick ("Anti-Virus" menu).

Also being in this menu, you can view/add/remove programs that are in quarantine and whitelisted.

Everything here is standard, like most antiviruses. But in addition to these features, the menu contains an interesting option - the inclusion of two antivirus engines, Avira and BitDefender.

To connect, click on the icon the required antivirus and turn it on using the switch.

When used this way, the enabled antivirus engines will be used on demand when scanning.

In order for them to be used and for active protection, you must click on the shield icon “Protection: on.” located in the upper left corner of the program menu, then go to the “Custom” protection mode and enable the desired engine in the “System Protection” section.


For check suspicious program, directory or file, there is no need to go to the antivirus menu and do a selective scan - this is too long.

Use the appropriate item context menu, which is available after clicking right click mouse on the desired object.

To do this, you need to go to the “Settings” menu, the “Active Protection” submenu, the “Internet” tab, install “Web Threat Protection 360” and select the browsers that are installed on your computer from the list.

It would also be useful to mention such interesting features, like “Sandbox” and “Vulnerabilities”.

The Sandbox feature provides the ability to run programs or applications in an isolated environment, which prevents installation unwanted programs followed by changing system parameters.

Two software products are presented - 360 Total Security and 360 Total Security Essential. The difference between them is the set auxiliary modules. Thus, 360 Total Security Essential lacks an optimization module, cleaning temporary files, checking Wi-Fi security, as well as a vulnerability correction module (Patch Up).

The remaining functions of these antiviruses are the same, namely, both include software products includes several antivirus engines - Cloud scanner 360 (360 Cloud), Avira AntiVir, Bitdefender AntiVir, 360 QVMII AI, sandbox, module safe shopping on the Internet, protection module against malware(malware), webcam protection and keylogger protection, system protection module. Last module includes scanning of USB media upon connection, firewall, behavioral blocking, registry protection, scanning of files when opening and saving, and some other types of runtime protection.

Comparison with competitors

Let's see how 360 Total Security compares to its competitors. Since the product is free, its competitors will be free too. However, there are a lot of antiviruses, and it would be problematic to compare the product in question with all existing antiviruses, so 360 Total Security was chosen as competitors Avira Free Antivirus and Avast Free Antivirus.

The choice of competitors is determined by several factors. First of all, Avira Free Antivirus is considered the best free antivirus of 2015, or so it says on their website, which contains the corresponding infographics. Secondly, 360 Total Security uses the Avira Antivir engine (although, in fact, this is only one of the engines, and in total there are three different antivirus engines supported that can work together), so it was interesting to compare 360 ​​Total Security with this antivirus. As for Avast, it showed very good performance (which is important for an antivirus - it should provide a good level of protection, but not consume a lot of system resources), which was shown in one of the reviews in Hacker. The table below allows you to evaluate the functions of the compared antiviruses. The table does not show the main functionality (monitor + scanner) - of course, any modern antivirus will have it, with the exception of completely stripped-down scanner products like CureIt from Dr. Web. The main functions also include protection against malware - malicious software. The fact is that some antivirus manufacturers highlight malware protection as a separate function (for example, 360 Total Security), others consider it part of the scanner (Avira and Avast), others do not mention it at all, but this does not mean that the antivirus cannot fight against this type of software.

Let's see what happens. The first thing that catches your eye is the fact that modern antiviruses are equipped with functionality that has nothing to do with the anti-virus scan and system protection. Thus, Avira has a price comparison function that allows you to save your money when shopping online. Antivirus 360 Total Security is equipped with a powerful set of functions for optimizing and cleaning the system. And Avast has a built-in password manager.

The most “empty” option is Avast Free Antivirus. Its “kit” includes only the antivirus itself (scanner and monitor), browser protection function and password manager. Yes, I have Avast product Internet Security. There is also protection against phishing, a firewall, and anti-spam protection, but only the 30-day version is available for free, and a one-year license will cost 900 rubles for 1 PC or 2,350 rubles for 3 years. The same can be said about Avira - if you need additional features, then you need to buy or Antivirus Pro(23.95 euros), or Internet Security Suite (30.95 euros). Most full version- Internet Security Suite, it combines all the features of Antivirus Pro plus features for system optimization and file encryption. A separate “supplement” will cost 16.95 euros (System Speedup product). Please note that 360 Total Security offers all these features completely free of charge.

So, 360 Total Security offers completely free cloud protection, firewall, patch-up, system optimization and cleaning function, as well as a number of minor nice-to-have gadgets.

Installation Process Overview

The installation process is so simple that any housewife can handle it. You need to download and run the installer (which, by the way, takes only 29.4 MB - this full set, for offline installation), then you can or immediately press the button Installation, or press the button Settings to select the folder to install the antivirus. No other settings (except for language selection) are offered.

Rice. 1. Installer 360 Total Security

The antivirus includes several antivirus engines, as noted earlier:

  • Avira engine - powerful engine, developed by a German company. Off by default.
  • Bitdefender engine- another supported engine developed by Romanian programmers. Disabled by default.
  • Cloud Scanner 360 Cloud- own cloud antivirus engine that uses information about checksums files. Always on, cannot be turned off separately.
  • QVM AI - own system proactive protection using cloud technologies. Allows you to protect your system from threats unknown to the antivirus. Always on and cannot be turned off separately.
Individual engines can be turned on and off in the program settings, but first these engines must be downloaded and installed. Fortunately, this process fully automated. The user only needs to go to the section Antivirus and press the button corresponding to the desired engine. The process of downloading and installing the Avira AntiVir engine is shown below. You can disable a temporarily unnecessary engine either in the program settings, or using the slider that appears when you move the mouse pointer to the engine button.


Rice. 2. Installing the Avira AntiVir engine


Rice. 3. Slider to enable/disable the antivirus engine

In practice this is very convenient. In one “bottle” the user receives several antiviruses that can be turned on/off at any convenient time.

Full system scan

In Fig. Figure 4 shows the result of a full system scan. The program found two problems - 4 threats related to system optimization, and a lot of temporary files (1.4 GB). Next, the user can click the button To correct to fix threats, and then click Double check for re-checking. As you can see, the program interface is quite simple and informative.


Rice. 4. Result of a full system check

A full system scan includes searching for problems related to system optimization, searching for garbage, and searching for viruses and other malware. It was not possible to check the Wi-Fi security check module, since for some reason the router model I am using is not supported by the program.

Anti-virus scan

If desired, you can carry out all these checks separately. Yes, in the section Antivirus(see Fig. 2 and 3) you can perform quick, full and selective (for example, check files on a flash drive) system scans. Later in this review we will show antivirus protection In action. As they say, “don’t switch.”

System optimization and cleaning

The system optimization module found as many as 22 points for optimization in the test freshly installed Windows 10 (Fig. 5). The module offers to disable some scheduled tasks (usually unnecessary ones like the Customer Experience Improvement Program), some unnecessary services(who needs a font buffering service?) and also optimize your network connection. To fix all found problems, you must click the button Optimize.

The system cleaning module allows you to remove various garbage such as temporary files, browser cache files, system garbage, etc. (Fig. 7).


Rice. 7. System cleaning module

After cleaning is complete, the program will offer to release additional disk space using System Backup Cleaner (Fig. 8). If automatic updating of your system is not turned off, this tool can be quite useful as it allows you to remove unused files backup copies system updates, which take up quite a lot of space (Fig. 9).

Additional tools

360 Total Security includes the following additional tools:
  • 360 Connect- if you need to remotely configure your grandmother's computer, then this tool will help you. Details in this review it is not considered, but everyone can familiarize themselves with it.
  • Instant installation- allows you to install various popular programs(ICQ, Skype, etc.)
  • Browser protection- allows you to protect your browser from unauthorized changes to the search engine and/or home page(Fig. 12). Unlike competitors, safe browsing and user tracking blocking functions are not provided.
  • Firewall- full-time Windows firewall is quite good and will satisfy the needs of most users. If it turns out to be not enough, then 360 Total Security offers to install (completely free) GlassWire Firewall. Actually, after launching the tool Firewall you will see a window with a button Install. After installing the firewall this button will launch it.
  • Sandbox- allows you to run dangerous programs; all changes to the system configuration made in the sandbox will not affect the real system. Very useful feature if you are unsure about the application.
  • Vulnerabilities- useful scanner system vulnerabilities, which allows you to check for security updates and various patches. It is also possible to install/uninstall a particular security update (patch).
  • Cleaning system backups- this tool has already been demonstrated earlier.
  • Disk compression- allows you to free up disk space through compression system files. On the test machine, the tool offered to release 4.7 GB by compression. Remember that compressing system files will likely reduce performance, so you should only resort to this measure as a last resort (when free space more important than performance).

About antivirus performance

There are three processes “hanging” in memory, which very modestly consume both processor time and RAM. Screenshot 16 was taken on a test machine, and on a working laptop on which these lines are written, Firefox browser It takes up 530 MB of RAM, so against its background, the total memory consumption of up to 50 MB seems like a drop in the bucket.


Rice. 16. System resources

The test machine is quite weak - 3 GB random access memory and dual core mobile Intel 1000M about 1.8 GHz. The OS is 64-bit Windows 10, as it is planned to upgrade the memory to 8 GB. But even with this configuration, the presence of an antivirus does not affect system performance. There are no special brakes, and if there are any, they are invisible to the user.

Noticeable slowdown is only possible when the antivirus is running in scanner mode and scanning the computer is running. But it is unlikely that a user who suspects that his PC is infected (why else would he run a full scan?) will calmly continue working at this moment - he will wait for the system scan, and close all applications during the scan itself. Even if such a user wants to work, then after starting the scan you need to wait a little - the consumption of system resources is significantly reduced (Fig. 18).


Rice. 17. Consumption of system resources when scanning a PC at the time the scan is launched


Rice. 18. The check is in full swing. Only 35.1% of CPU time is used, HDD also not overloaded

In some reviews, the 360 ​​Total Security product is criticized for being quite demanding. system resources antivirus update mechanism. But nothing like this was noticed on the test machine. In Fig. 19 shows that the antivirus update process took only 5.5% of CPU time.


Rice. 19. Antivirus update process

Real test

It's time for the most interesting part of this review - real test. I have at my disposal a good selection of infected files (both exe and Word documents). Every file in this collection is infected; there are 142 files in total. Let's see how many viruses 360 Total Security finds. All viruses are detected by other antiviruses like Dr. Web, Kaspersky, etc. For greater fairness, additional engines will be disabled, only standard means protection.

In order not to infect the system, everything was checked like this: the archive was copied (with the password), then it was unpacked. Immediately after unpacking, the antivirus began to respond. The result of his work is shown in Fig. 20 - 92 infected files were found and eliminated. Next, the antivirus recommended running a quick scan, since a lot of malware was found at once (Fig. 21).


Rice. 20. Antivirus results


Rice. 21. Run a quick scan?

Let's give the antivirus a second chance. Let's try to check the folder into which the infected files were unpacked by the scanner. The antivirus found just one more file (in total, 93 out of 142 files were recognized as dangerous).


Rice. 22. Another virus found

Now let's turn on both additional engines - Avira and Bitdefender and try again to scan the folder with viruses. Logically, there are still 49 infected files left in it. Voila. The antivirus found the remaining 49 viruses (Fig. 23).


Rice. 23. No virus went unnoticed

From this we can conclude that maximum protection is guaranteed when all available engines are enabled. Maybe this will have a slight impact on performance, but security is never enough. What you need - either fast and not very reliable - or a little slower, but safe - is up to you to decide.


Rice. 24. The “remainder” was successfully liquidated

Overview of program settings

To conclude this review, let's look at some useful settings programs. Among the main program settings, the user can enable/disable active protection at system startup, enable/disable self-defense, as well as enable/disable automatic update(Fig. 25). For security reasons, it is best to leave all these options enabled. The only option that you can disable if you get tired of it is the display of the system boot time after it is rebooted.


Rice. 25. Basic program settings

The active protection settings themselves are stored in the section of the same name. For performance reasons, by default only the check is performed. executable files and documents, and not all files in a row. Therefore, if you copy an archive with viruses into the system (even without a password), the antivirus will not react to it. As it turned out in the section Antivirus(Fig. 27), by default the program does not respond to compressed files at all. If you want archives to be scanned too, enable the option Scan compressed files during a full disk scan.


Rice. 26. By default, only documents and executable files are scanned


Rice. 27. Antivirus settings

On the tab Confidentiality you can select the webcam protection mode - in strict mode, the antivirus will notify you of every attempt to access it (Fig. 28).


Rice. 28. Webcam access control

conclusions

360 Total Security is not bad :), and most importantly completely free antivirus, providing many additional useful tools. Maximum protection is provided by connecting additional antivirus engines Avira and Bitdefender.

Thank you for your attention, I’m interested in your opinion in the comments.

Hello everyone, It’s been a long time since I wrote about programs that relate to system security, but today I’ll fix that. I will tell you what kind of program 360 Total Security is, you will see how effectively it works, you will conclude whether you need it and if not, you can easily remove it. I will write to everyone about this.

360 Total Security is an antivirus, but unlike others, it is particularly advanced as it includes four engines at once: Avira AntiVir, Bitdefender, QVM II and cloud computing power 360 Cloud. Eat special version for Android devices, and by the way, I remember this program, 360 Security was often recommended on forums for removing junk programs on Android

The program implements proactive protection, monitoring sites in the browser, checking downloaded files and keylogger detection technologies (viruses that record everything you type on the keyboard).

In a sense, this is a software combine, since there is also a firewall (control of all network connections, it must be downloaded as a component of GlassWire Firewall), protection of the web browser from dangerous sites, as well as tools for optimizing system operation (startup control, task scheduler, fine tuning Internet connections).

360 Total Security also has an assistant in the form of an extension for popular browsers(but except for Mozilla, but it’s possible that this has already been fixed). This extension carefully controls the pages you visit: fake (phishing), sites with viruses and other junk pages will be blocked.

I won’t say for sure, but it seems like according to many estimates this antivirus has high ratings. But again, as with the other powerful antivirus Kaspersky, 360 Total Security checks the system so much that sometimes it sees ordinary utilities as malicious. On the contrary, some threats are missed. But all these are the opinions of certain users, while the majority of users are still satisfied with the antivirus.

True, 360 Total Security does not always enter the system correctly; users often discover it and do not understand what it is and where it came from. This is because it can sneak into Windows during installation. third party software, this is a common occurrence among software. Whatever it is, today I will figure out what kind of program 360 Total Security is and how necessary it is

When installed on a 360 Total Security system, it also installs the Bitdefender antivirus kernel; this can be disabled by unchecking this box:


Appearance of 360 Total Security

The program looks normal, well, in the sense that there is no overloaded interface, everything is quite clear:


There are main tabs with various options on them. What’s also interesting is that you can even log into the program using your VKontakte account:


To do this, click on VK Login in the right corner of the program:


Another icon, the one in the form of a T-shirt, is responsible for changing antivirus themes:


Although, as for me, the design themes in the antivirus are somehow superfluous.

Let's study a little 360 ​​Total Security externally. On the Full Scan tab there is one huge button - Scan, click it and the antivirus starts scanning your computer accordingly:


At the end, you can fix all the mistakes or recheck. I had one threat and many junk files, the volume of which reached 3.4 GB:


By the way, at the top it will say Problems found, so there’s a link there detailed information, if you are interested, you can take a look, interesting details may be indicated there.

Testing 360 Total Security, I can already say that I like how quickly and clearly the program interface works, all functions work quickly, system scanning is also quite fast. And at the same time, I have not yet noticed any advertising in the program

On the Antivirus tab you can run a scan, there are three types in total, I chose Quick check. It lasted about two minutes, then there was this result:


There are no problems, this is probably because I already used the full scan on the first tab. In general, there is still full check and selective, in which you can specify which folders should be scanned.

There's a lot of cool stuff on the Acceleration tab. And it’s really useful, I liked the fact that everything that starts with Windows is displayed here:


By the way, there is no need to think about what can be disabled and what cannot; to do this, just click on the Optimize button.

On the same tab, but in the Manual section, you can independently disable some programs from Windows startup(and delete invalid ones):


The Cleaning tab will allow you to scan the system for garbage, this can be either junk extensions or temporary files:


On the Tools tab there is a lot of things, there is an option to install an additional firewall component, there is a registry cleaning tool, and you can also instantly install some programs (this is something new):


In my opinion, the Browser Protection feature will be useful for many. Here you can select the browser you use and block any unauthorized changes to it ( virus programs often like to install malicious extensions, change search engine, lock settings):


By the way, the Registry Cleanup tool can also find a bunch of garbage in the registry:


Firewall is a special tool for full control network activity of programs, that is, you can either deny or allow access to the Internet to any program. But here you need to understand a little about who can be given access to the network and who shouldn’t

360 Total Security Settings

Now let's see how things are going with the 360 ​​Total Security settings. To do this, click on this button and select Settings in the menu:

So what can I say here? Everything is configured optimally, you don’t need to change anything. But personally, some things still irritate me, namely that after turning on the computer, a message appears about how many seconds it took to boot Windows. And so on all the time. To disable this, in the 360 ​​Total Security settings, on the General tab, uncheck this box:


On the Active Protection tab, you can enable special anti-virus extensions in browsers if you need it. But I will say right away that on the one hand this may seem unnecessary to you, but on the other hand these extensions will actually block those sites that distribute virus software. So think about whether to connect them or not:


On the Antivirus tab, you may be interested in the option to disable the 360 ​​Total Security item from the file’s context menu; to do this, uncheck this box:


Also on this tab you can schedule a scan, for example if you have a powerful and fast computer, then you can set the check to happen every day:


Or every week, then look at how you use the computer and the Internet, if you are very active, then a daily check will be the best option.

By the way, here is the tray menu, fast access to different sections of 360 Total Security:

I also accidentally noticed that this antivirus also helps update your Windows; to be honest, I didn’t know that it had such a feature:

I have Windows 7, but I think it will also help update Windows 10, although it seems to be able to cope with this task on its own

A small addition. Unfortunately, over time I discovered an unpleasant bug in the 360 ​​Total Security antivirus. And in general I have not seen such a jamb, which other antiviruses do not seem to have. In short, sometimes, I don’t know how often, but after turning on the computer, the antivirus shows the following advertisement:

How to remove ads in 360 Total Security? And go find out how.. It seems like there’s no way, in any case, I didn’t find such a setting. Moreover, the antivirus seems to be free, I just thought at first, maybe paid version The antivirus has no advertising, but it turns out that there is no paid version. You have to pay for everything, even for free... No, advertising can of course be removed if you track the addresses of 360 Total Security servers and block access to them in hosts file, but then the antivirus will not be able to update, so this is not a solution to the problem. So, unfortunately, it’s still unknown how to remove ads in 360 Total Security

How to completely remove 360 ​​Total Security antivirus from your computer?

Due to the fact that often 360 Total Security does not reach the computer completely the right way, that is, when installing other programs, it is not surprising that some users want to remove it.

But before I delete it, I’ll write my opinion. In general, I am skeptical about modern antiviruses (especially new ones), since most of them contain dubious functions. All the new functions are not particularly useful, and the rest have been in antivirus programs for a long time. Behind Lately only proactive defense has improved and heuristic analysis, everything else is just embellished. But many functions have appeared that, on the one hand, are useful, but on the other hand, they can be found in several programs at once. In terms of system optimization, 360 Total Security has several tools that are also available in CCleaner program, although the first is an antivirus, and the second is a Windows cleaner

Many antiviruses have begun to appear sections for PC cleaning - to remove temporary files and junk keys in the registry. All this is good, but I think that an antivirus should be an antivirus. For example, I use the Outpost firewall, there’s nothing even close to that, it’s a firewall and a bit of an antivirus. Okay, I wrote you some of my thoughts.

You can remove 360 ​​Total Security from your computer in the usual way. But since the program is large, it would be correct to delete it along with all the garbage that it may leave behind. Here I recommend using a tool like this, try it, I think you will be interested

Well, now let's see how to remove 360 ​​Total Security using built-in tools. Click the Start menu and select Control Panel (and if you have Windows 10, this item can be found in the menu called Win + X):


Then find the Programs and Features icon and launch it:


On the list installed software Find 360 Total Security, right-click on it and select Uninstall:


The deleter will start, click Continue:


Then a message will pop up asking you to confirm the deletion again:


The deletion will begin:


The process should take a maximum of a minute, then 360 Total Security will be completely removed from your computer. After this, a browser will open with a page asking you to report the reason for deletion.

Well, that’s almost all... almost, because there will still be a little garbage left in the registry. But this can be fixed, I’ll now show you how

How to remove 360 ​​Total Security from the registry?

This procedure should only be performed if, like me, you try to keep the system strictly clean. Garbage keys in the registry do not particularly burden Windows! But nevertheless, I try to remove them.

So, press Win + R, a small window will appear, write a command like regedit there and click OK:


The Registry Editor will open. In it, press Ctrl + F and insert 360 Total Security into the Find field so that all entries mentioning this antivirus are found:



Let me remind you once again that you need to delete in this way only those keys that were found (that is, automatically selected) during the search! To continue the search, press F3 and then again delete all the found keys and so on until a message appears that the search is over.

This is all not very important, but personally, I always try to clean the registry like this after uninstalling software, I don’t uninstall programs that often, so it’s okay to work hard
