360 Total Security Essential is Chinese anti-virus software from Qihoo that often turns out well when testing virus scanners. 360 Total Security Essential therefore has four anti-virus engines at its disposal: those of the highly valued Bitdefender, Avira and two proprietary engines.
360 Total Security Essential protects your PC in real time with 4 anti-virus engines: Bitdefender, Avira and two proprietary engines from Qihoo.You still need to turn on the Avira and Bitdefender engines in the main window, after which they will be downloaded. USB sticks are also checked and Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari are protected against phishing and driveby downloads. Finally, Qihoo protects against keyloggers and webcam hijacking.
You can also use the sandbox to launch programs in a secure environment.
360 Total Security Essential provides good protection for your PC. An even more extensive free package that Qihoo offers is 360 Total Security (without the addition of Essential). Total Security is, as the name suggests, a total package (all-in-one) that can also optimize and speed up your PC, cleans even more and has various other tools at its disposal. That may be handy, but if you prefer to have only an anti-virus program, Total Security Essential might be a better choice than Total Security.
The products from Qihoo are available for Windows, Mac and Android.
You can free download 360 Total Security Essential 32, 64 bit and safe install the latest trial or new full version for Windows 10 from the official site.
