good company and works.

nohype: you are misinformed. 360TS used to do testing at av-test.org, but they were caught cheating and kicked out. 360TS is untrustworthy, which isn't something you'd want in your security software. (being untrustworthy, how do you even know they aren't lying when they say they're using bitdefender or avira? and why when they were tested were their results so bad compared to bitdefenders? food for thought.

This is likely the best, free security extension. But it's not needed if you have a good anti-virus program that does the same. One exception is if you use Windows Defender. It is very good but it doesn't protect Opera like Avira Browser Safety does. So if you just use Windows Defender, then also using Avira Browser Safety is a good idea.

@useraopera

You are wrong, ha. Av-test.org doesn't even review 360 Total Security. Also, 360TS is not "weak and dangerous", LOL. Also, most all the anti-virus software reviewed at av-test.org are paid versions, except for Avast (free) which has crazy pop-up ads and slows down your PC with crap, and the GUI sucks. In fact, av-test.org doesn't even account for ads and tracking crap in those software reviews. Also, av-test.org still reviews Kaspersky which was said to be untrustworthy by many notable security pros, although the evidence of such was rather sketchy IMO, yet still better than your silly claim that 360TS is dangerous, LOL.

As for 360TS, it uses both Avira's and Bitdefender's anti-virus engines plus three from 360, all for free.

I run the paid version of 360TS on one PC and the free version an another, and there's not much difference. The free version has most everything and much more than any other free anti-virus software my team has tested.

Also understand that Qihoo 360 is partnered with Avira and they own much of Opera. So if you don't trust 360, I guess you should think twice about trusting Avira and Opera, ha.

OMG, the Chinese own everything! Run for the hills!.. LOL.

That said, for full anti-virus software I think 360 Total Security is likely the best free anti-virus for most home users, as is has many full-featured options (including a sandbox), very few ads to fuss with, the GUI is clean and easy, and it doesn't slow down your PC as others do.

Also in 360TS you can choose to protect most any browser without the need for an extension. That protection is better IMO.

Also, state level Chinese hacker teams work close with Qihoo 360 to expose many threats that they share with Google and others. So, fair enough that you may not like them, but they still know their tech.

Also, I wouldn't worry about using 360TS unless you work for some gov or company in Canadia or whatever.

But if you're worried about personal privacy, forget it. Qihoo 360 is just like Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Sucking up data and selling it to anyone.

@notabot you totally wrong. Check newest test at av-test.org. Avira is one a best AV. 360 TS is weak and dangereous.
