360 Total Security er en sikkerhedspakke, der er udviklet af et kinesisk firma kaldet Qihoo 360 . Virksomheden blev grundlagt i 2005, og dens forretning klarer sig rigtig godt, da mere end 496 millioner brugere verden over brugte dets sikkerhedsprodukter i 2014. I dag kan det tal være endnu større. Virksomhedens bedste gratis antivirusprodukt hedder 360 Total Security og lover at rydde op og også sætte fart på Windows for sine brugere. Vi var selvfølgelig nysgerrige efter at se, om det kan gøre det godt. Efter at have testet det i et par dage, her er vores anmeldelse af 360 Total Security :

Hvad er 360 Total Security god til?

360 Total Security er god sikkerhedssoftware til brugere, der:

• Ønsker ikke at betale for antivirussoftware
• Føl dig tryg ved at pille ved det for at få en anstændig antivirusbeskyttelse
• Ønsker et gratis VPN- værktøj, og er villig til at nøjes med begrænset trafik

Fordele og ulemper

Her er de gode ting, vi har identificeret om 360 Total Security :

• Det er gratis
• Den har en enkel og nem at bruge grænseflade
• Det tilbyder et VPN-værktøj

Der er dog mange negative ting:

• Det kan ikke effektivt beskytte dig mod malware, medmindre du manuelt aktiverer Bitdefender og Avira AntiVir antivirus motorerne
• Det forhindrer dig ikke i at besøge farlige websteder
• Det har intet firewall-modul, selvom det hedder Total Security
• Der vises en masse annoncer
• Det sænker opstartstiden på din computer, og filoverførslen inden for dit lokale netværk
• Mange af de medfølgende ekstra værktøjer er enten ikke nyttige eller kan ikke bruges, medmindre du køber et abonnement

Dom

360 Total Security er sandsynligvis den værste sikkerhedspakke, vi nogensinde har gennemgået. Det ser pænt ud på papiret, men virkeligheden er grim og fuld af problemer. Antivirusmotoren, som den bruger som standard, er svag og kan ikke forhindre malware og ransomware i at ødelægge alt, hvad du har på din computer, og browsersikkerhedsudvidelsen forhindrer dig i at besøge farlige websteder. Tilfældige brugere, der downloader og installerer denne sikkerhedspakke, efterlades praktisk talt ubeskyttede mod alle slags trusler. 360 Total Security fejler sit vigtigste formål med at beskytte brugere mod cybertrusler. Selvfølgelig kan du pille ved det og aktivere brugen af ​​Bitdefender og Avira AntiVirmotorer, men det er ikke noget afslappede brugere vil gøre. Vi kan ikke anbefale dette produkt til nogen. Du er bedre stillet ved at bruge Windows Defender fra Windows .

Download- og installationsoplevelsen

For at få 360 Total Security på din computer skal du først downloade den. Du kan vælge at få en lille eksekverbar fil, der downloader alle de nødvendige data under installationen, eller du kan downloade det fulde offline installationsprogram lige fra starten, som har alt, hvad du skal bruge for at installere produktet. Uanset hvad, vil du downloade omkring 71,7 MB data fra internettet. En positiv, som vi er nødt til at nævne, er, at der ikke er nogen personlige oplysninger anmodet om fra dig.

Installationsguiden er enkel og ligetil, og de eneste ting, den lader dig vælge, er, om du vil "Deltag i 360 User Experience Improvement Program"^{("Join 360 User Experience Improvement Program")} og "Installer sikker og hurtig Opera Browser." ^{("Install Safe and Fast Opera Browser.")}Begge disse muligheder er markeret som standard, men ingen af ​​dem er obligatoriske. Vi anbefaler, at du fjerner markeringen af ​​den indstilling, der installerer Opera , medmindre du vil have denne webbrowser på din computer. Du kan også vælge installationsmappen til sikkerhedspakken.

Når installationen er færdig, beder 360 Total Security om at genstarte din computer. For at blive beskyttet, bør du gøre det.

Efter at vores computer var startet, blev vi budt velkommen af ​​360 Total Security med et vindue kaldet 360 Startup Timer , hvor der blev vist et par nyheder under en masse annoncer. Det er en frygtelig start.

Så prøvede vi at åbne den primære grænseflade i sikkerhedspakken, og i stedet for at se den, mente 360 ​​Total Security , at det ville være bedre at åbne 360 ​​Instant Setup . Det er et ekstra værktøj, der hjælper dig med at installere tredjepartssoftware "med et enkelt klik" på samme måde som Ninite . Det er et nyttigt værktøj, men ikke hvad brugeren har brug for, når han eller hun forsøger at åbne 360 ​​Total Security .

Efter at vi lukkede 360 ​​Instant Setup ned , kunne vi endelig se hovedgrænsefladen for 360 Total Security . Ved første øjekast virkede det ret simpelt og nemt at bruge.

Det er nemt og ligetil at downloade og installere 360 ​​Total Security på din Windows-computer. Vi kunne godt lide, at du kan bruge et offline-installationsprogram, og at der ikke kræves nogen personlige oplysninger fra brugeren, før du installerer det. Vi bryder os dog ikke om, at installationsprogrammet forsøger at installere yderligere software, som du ikke har bedt om, selvom den software er legitim. Vi sætter heller ikke pris på tilstedeværelsen af ​​annoncer på brugerens skrivebord, og vi kan ikke lide det faktum, at det første møde, du har med 360 Total Security, ikke er med dens primære brugergrænseflade, men med et ekstra værktøj.^{(Downloading and installing 360 Total Security on your Windows computer is easy and straightforward. We liked the fact that you can use an offline installer, and that there is no personal information required from the user before installing it. However, we do not like the fact that the installer tries to install additional software that you did not ask for, even if that software is legitimate. Also, we do not appreciate the presence of ads on the user's desktop, and we dislike the fact that the first encounter you have with 360 Total Security is not with its primary user interface, but with an additional tool.)}

Integration med Windows , webbrowsere og universelle Windows - apps

360 Total Security deaktiverer Windows Defender under installationen, og det er en god ting, fordi at have to antivirusprogrammer, der kører samtidigt, kan betyde konflikter og ydeevneproblemer. Det deaktiverer dog ikke Windows Firewall , men det er OK, fordi det ikke indeholder et eget firewall-modul. Fordi det ikke har noget firewall-modul, havde vi ingen problemer med at bruge netværksfunktionerne i Windows 10 . Vi var i stand til at oprette og tilslutte os en hjemmegruppe^(homegroup) , vi kunne få adgang til netværksshares og streame mediefiler over netværket, og vi havde ingen problemer med at downloade, installere eller bruge universelle Windows-apps^{(universal Windows apps)} .

Vi har også tjekket, hvordan 360 Total Security vælger at beskytte sine brugere mod onlinetrusler. Vi fandt ud af, at det gør det ved at installere en webbrowserudvidelse kaldet "360 Internet Protection" . Den er tilgængelig til Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge og Yandex-browseren^{(Yandex Browser)} . Hvis du ikke bruger en af ​​disse webbrowsere, gør 360 Total Security ikke noget for at beskytte dig mod online farer.

Vi brugte Task Manager til at overvåge, hvor meget RAM der kræves af 360 Total Security for at køre sine processer. På vores testcomputer brugte den kun omkring 66 MB RAM , hvilket er en lille værdi.

Dernæst tjekkede vi, hvor meget det påvirker opstartstiden. Ved hjælp af BootRacer målte vi, at 360 Total Security tilføjede over 7 sekunder til vores systems opstart. Det er 38 % mere tid tilføjet til den oprindelige opstartstid og. Hvis du undrer dig, bruger vi en hurtig NVMe Samsung SSD , så denne stigning vil sandsynligvis være endnu højere på et system, der bruger en traditionel harddisk.

For at tjekke om internethastigheden er påvirket af 360 Total Security , kørte vi et par test med Speedtest.net . Overførselshastighederne var de samme før og efter installation af sikkerhedspakken, og det er fremragende. Men da vi testede upload- og downloadhastighederne for at flytte filer gennem det lokale netværk, viste LAN Speed ​​Test , at sikkerhedspakken bremsede uploaden med 23 procent og downloadhastigheden med 7 procent. Disse er væsentligt langsommere dataoverførsler inden for det lokale netværk.

360 Total Security tilbyder ikke et firewall-modul, men det betyder, at du ikke bør have problemer med at bruge netværksfunktionerne fra Windows. Desværre inkluderer den heller ikke en internettrafikfiltreringsmotor for at beskytte dig mod farlige websteder. Der er dog en webbrowserudvidelse, som skal sikre dig, når du surfer på nettet, men kun hvis du bruger en populær browser, der understøttes af den. Endelig var vi skuffede over at se, at 360 Total Security ^{(360 Total Security does not offer a firewall module, but that means that you should not have issues using the networking features from Windows. Unfortunately, it does not include an internet traffic filtering engine either, to protect you from dangerous websites. However, there is a web browser extension that should secure you when you surf the web, but only if you use a popular browser that is supported by it. Finally, we were disappointed to see that 360 Total Security )}sænkede ^{(slowed )}opstartstiderne og dataoverførslerne på vores testcomputer meget.^{(the boot times and data transfers of our test computer down a lot.)}

Brugervenlighed og konfiguration

Ved første indtryk ser brugergrænsefladen, der tilbydes af 360 Total Security , godt ud og føles nem at bruge. I venstre side af vinduet er der en menu, hvor du kan få adgang til sikkerhedspakkens hovedfunktioner, og i højre side af vinduet kan du se deres detaljer. Du kan starte et fuldt tjek^{(Full Check)} for justeringer, der kan foretages for at gøre din computer hurtigere, samt fjerne virus fra den, rense uønskede filer fra den eller gøre din WiFi- forbindelse mere sikker.

Antivirusmodulet, der tilbydes af 360 Total Security , bruger virksomhedens antivirusmotor, men det kan også bruge antivirusmotorerne Bitdefender og Avira AntiVir . Disse er meget bedre til at udføre deres arbejde, som du vil se senere i denne anmeldelse. Men hvis du vil bruge dem, skal du downloade dem manuelt ved at klikke på deres ikoner fra bunden af ​​Virusscanningssektionen^{(Virus Scan)} i brugergrænsefladen.

Derefter, for at bruge dem til malware-detektion, skal du åbne afsnittet Beskyttelse^(Protection) i den primære grænseflade og vælge tilstanden Sikkerhedsbeskyttelse^(Security) .

Hvis du vil gå i detaljer, kan du vælge Virusscanning, Speedup, Oprydning^{(Virus Scan, Speedup, Cleanup)} eller Værktøjskasse^{(Tool Box)} sektionerne fra venstre og starte kontrollen eller foretage ændringer i højre side af grænsefladen. Nogle ting er dog mere tilgængelige eller kun tilgængelige fra menuen Indstillinger^(Settings) , som du kan få adgang til fra øverste højre side af appvinduet. Udover at finde alle tilgængelige indstillinger^(Settings) , er dette også stedet, hvorfra du hurtigere kan komme ind i karantænen^(Quarantine) , se logfilerne, sende feedback eller se efter opdateringer^{(Check for updates)} .

Hvis du kan lide at bruge temaer på hver app og enhed, der giver dig mulighed for det, kan du måske lide det faktum, at 360 Total Security tilbyder denne funktion. Klik^(Click) eller tryk på t-shirt-ikonet øverst til højre i hovedgrænsefladen, og vælg det tema, du foretrækker. Det er ikke noget, du ofte ser i sikkerhedssoftware.

Det er også værd at nævne, at brugergrænsefladen og alle indstillingerne i den skal være nem at bruge på enhver enhed, selv på dem med en touchskærm. Det meste styres enten af ​​en stor knap, en kontakt eller et flueben, og det er en god ting set ud fra et ergonomisk synspunkt.

De fleste funktioner og indstillinger, der er tilgængelige i 360 Total Security , er nemme at forstå. Der er dog ingen hjælpeoplysninger i sikkerhedspakken. Hvis du ønsker at uddanne dig selv om dette produkt, skal du gå online og besøge dets hjemmeside^{(visit its website)} . På den anden side tilbyder sikkerhedspakken en nem måde at bede om support på, som du kan få adgang til ved at åbne menuen Indstillinger^(Settings) og derefter klikke på Feedback- indstillingen.

Med hensyn til rapporter giver 360 Total Security sine brugere logfiler over sikkerhedshændelser registreret af det. Logfilerne er detaljerede, men de er kun tekst, så hvis du ønsker noget mere visuelt, er du uheldig.

Fra et brugerinteraktionssynspunkt er vi nødt til at fortælle dig, at vi så advarsler, når malware blev identificeret, men også mange reklamer, der dukkede op ud af ingenting, hele tiden. Derfor var det en irriterende oplevelse for os at bruge 360 ​​Total Security .

360 Total Security tilbyder en brugergrænseflade, der er enkel og nem at bruge, både på computere med mus og tastatur og på enheder med touchskærme. Brugeroplevelsen er dog ubehagelig, da brugergrænsefladen er fyldt med reklamer, der vises i alle hjørner af dette produkt, og også på dit skrivebord.^{(360 Total Security offers a user interface that is simple and easy to use, both on computers with a mouse and a keyboard, and on devices with touchscreens. However, the user experience is unpleasant, as the user interface is filled with advertisements that are displayed in all the corners of this product, and also on your desktop.)}

Læs den næste side af anmeldelsen for at se, hvor effektiv 360 Total Security er til at beskytte dig mod malware og onlinetrusler. Du kan også finde ud af, hvilke ekstra værktøjer der følger med, og hvilke indstillinger du bør overveje at justere.

Security for everyone - Review 360 Total Security

360 Total Security is a security suite that is developed by a Chinese company called Qihoo 360. The company was founded in 2005, and its business is doing very well, as more than 496 million users worldwide were using its security products in 2014. Nowadays, that number could be even more significant. The company's top free antivirus product is called 360 Total Security and promises to clean up, and also speed up Windows for its users. Of course, we were curious to see whether it can do that well. After testing it for a few days, here is our review of 360 Total Security:

What is 360 Total Security good at?

360 Total Security is good security software for users who:

• Do not want to pay for antivirus software
• Feel at ease with tinkering with it to get decent antivirus protection
• Want a free VPN tool, and are willing to make do with limited traffic

Pros and cons

Here are the good things that we identified about 360 Total Security:

• It is free
• It has a simple and easy to use interface
• It offers a VPN tool

There are many negatives though:

• It cannot efficiently protect you from malware unless you manually enable the Bitdefender and Avira AntiVir antivirus engines
• It does not stop you from visiting dangerous websites
• It has no firewall module, even though it is named Total Security
• There are a lot of advertisements displayed
• It slows down the boot time of your computer and the file transfers within your local network
• Many of the additional tools bundled are either not useful or cannot be used unless you buy a subscription

Verdict

360 Total Security is probably the worst security suite that we have ever reviewed. It looks nice on paper, but the reality is ugly and full of issues. The antivirus engine that it uses by default is weak and cannot stop malware and ransomware from destroying everything you have on your computer, and the browser security extension does nothing to stop you from visiting dangerous websites. Casual users who download and install this security suite are practically left unprotected against all sorts of threats. 360 Total Security fails at its most important purpose of protecting users from cyber threats. Sure, you can tinker with it and enable the use of the Bitdefender and Avira AntiVir engines, but that is not something casual users will do. We cannot recommend this product to anyone. You are better off using the Windows Defender from Windows.

The download and installation experience

To get 360 Total Security on your computer, you first have to download it. You can choose to get a small executable file that downloads all the required data during installation, or you can download the full offline installer right from the start, which has everything you need to install the product. Either way, you are going to download about 71.7 MB of data from the internet. A positive that we have to mention is that there is no personal information requested from you.

The installation wizard is simple and straightforward, and the only things it lets you choose is whether you want to "Join 360 User Experience Improvement Program" and "Install Safe and Fast Opera Browser." Both these options are checked by default, but none of them are mandatory. We recommend you to uncheck the option that installs Opera unless you want this web browser on your computer. You can also select the installation folder for the security suite.

When the installation is done, 360 Total Security asks to reboot your computer. To get protected, you should do that.

After our computer booted, we were welcomed by 360 Total Security with a window called 360 Startup Timer, in which there were displayed a few news items beneath a lot of ads. This is a terrible start.

Then we tried opening the primary interface of the security suite, and instead of seeing it, 360 Total Security thought it would be better to open 360 Instant Setup. That is an additional tool that helps you install third-party software "with a single click," in a similar manner to Ninite. It is a useful tool, but not what the user needs when he or she tries to open 360 Total Security.

After we closed down 360 Instant Setup, we could finally see the main interface of 360 Total Security. At first look, it seemed quite simple and easy to use.

Downloading and installing 360 Total Security on your Windows computer is easy and straightforward. We liked the fact that you can use an offline installer, and that there is no personal information required from the user before installing it. However, we do not like the fact that the installer tries to install additional software that you did not ask for, even if that software is legitimate. Also, we do not appreciate the presence of ads on the user's desktop, and we dislike the fact that the first encounter you have with 360 Total Security is not with its primary user interface, but with an additional tool.

Integration with Windows, web browsers and universal Windows apps

360 Total Security disables Windows Defender during its installation, and that is a good thing because having two antivirus applications running simultaneously can mean conflicts and performance issues. However, it does not disable Windows Firewall, but that is OK because it does not include a firewall module of its own. Because it has no firewall module, we had no issues using the networking features in Windows 10. We were able to create and join a homegroup, we could access network shares and stream media files over the network, and we had no problems in downloading, installing or using universal Windows apps.

We also checked how 360 Total Security chooses to protect its users against online threats. We found out that it does that by installing a web browser extension called "360 Internet Protection". It is available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge, and the Yandex Browser. If you do not use one of these web browsers, 360 Total Security does not do anything to protect you from online dangers.

We used Task Manager to monitor how much RAM is needed by 360 Total Security to run its processes. On our test computer, it used only about 66 MB of RAM, which is a small value.

Next, we checked how much it affects the boot time. Using BootRacer, we measured that 360 Total Security added over 7 seconds to our system's boot. That is 38% more time added to the original boot time and. In case you are wondering, we are using a fast NVMe Samsung SSD, so this time increase is likely to be even higher on a system that uses a traditional hard-disk drive.

To check whether the internet speed is affected by 360 Total Security, we ran a few tests with Speedtest.net. The transfer rates were the same before and after installing the security suite, and that is excellent. However, when we tested the upload and download speeds for moving files through the local network, LAN Speed Test showed that the security suite slowed down the upload by 23 percent, and the download speed by 7 percent. These are significantly slower data transfers within the local network.

360 Total Security does not offer a firewall module, but that means that you should not have issues using the networking features from Windows. Unfortunately, it does not include an internet traffic filtering engine either, to protect you from dangerous websites. However, there is a web browser extension that should secure you when you surf the web, but only if you use a popular browser that is supported by it. Finally, we were disappointed to see that 360 Total Security slowed the boot times and data transfers of our test computer down a lot.

Ease of use & configuration

At first impression, the user interface offered by 360 Total Security looks good and feels easy to use. On the left side of the window, there is a menu in which you can access the main functions of the security suite, and on the right side of the window, you can see their details. You can start a Full Check for adjustments that can be made to make your computer faster, as well as remove viruses from it, clean junk files from it or make your WiFi connection safer.

The antivirus module offered by 360 Total Security uses the company's antivirus engine, but it can also use the Bitdefender and Avira AntiVir antivirus engines. These are much better at doing their job, as you will see later in this review. However, if you want to use them, you must download them manually, by clicking on their icons from the bottom of the Virus Scan section of the user interface.

Then, to use them for malware detection, you must open the Protection section of the primary interface and select the Security protection mode.

If you want to go into details, you can select the Virus Scan, Speedup, Cleanup or Tool Box sections from the left, and start the checks or make changes on the right side of the interface. However, some things are more accessible or only available from the Settings menu that you can access from the top-right side of the app window. Other than locating all the Settings available, this is also the place from where you can enter the Quarantine faster, see the logs, send Feedback or Check for updates.

If you like using themes on every app and device that allows you to do that, you might like the fact that 360 Total Security offers this feature. Click or tap on the t-shirt icon from the top-right of the main interface and select the theme you prefer. That is not something that you often see in security software.

It is also worth mentioning that the user interface and all the settings in it, should be easy to use on any device, even on those with a touchscreen. Most things are controlled either by a large button, a switch or a checkmark, and that is a good thing from an ergonomics point of view.

Most features and settings available in 360 Total Security are easy to understand. However, there is no help information provided in the security suite. If you want to educate yourself about this product, you have to go online and visit its website. On the other hand, the security suite offers an easy way to ask for support, which you can access by opening its Settings menu and then clicking on the Feedback option.

Regarding reports, 360 Total Security gives its users logs of the security events recorded by it. The logs are detailed but they are text only, so if you wished for something more visual, you are out of luck.

From a user interaction point of view, we have to tell you that we saw alerts when malware was identified, but also many advertisements that popped out of nowhere, all the time. That is why using 360 Total Security was an annoying experience for us.

360 Total Security offers a user interface that is simple and easy to use, both on computers with a mouse and a keyboard, and on devices with touchscreens. However, the user experience is unpleasant, as the user interface is filled with advertisements that are displayed in all the corners of this product, and also on your desktop.

Read the next page of the review to see how efficient 360 Total Security is at protecting you from malware and online threats. You can also find out what additional tools are bundled with it, and which are the settings that you should consider adjusting.
