360 Security ensures that nothing malicious lurks when you browse the web or download files. It will block access to suspicious sites, scan the history of your browser, keep track of the amount of data you’re using and even locate the phone you’ve lost.
The suite includes firewalls and a shredder for data as well as tools to clean your system on a regular basis. It will update drivers automatically, has anti-tracking features and provides you with access to tech support with just one click.
The software’s interface is intuitive and user-friendly even though there are plenty of options and settings. Most things are controlled by the large buttons, switches or checkmark, which is good from a ergonomics point of view. The program is accessible on both Windows and Mac, and it’s free to use (ad-supported).
The antivirus does a good job of securing your PC from malware. Its real-time detection can detect more than 95% of threats and didn’t produce false positives in my testing. It’s not as robust in level of protection as other products you can look here in terms of the scanning of files and heuristics.
360 Total Security offers a variety of security and maintenance features as well as the VPN, which is only available in the premium version. Its heuristic engine can detect malware by analyzing a program’s behavior, which can be very useful, especially if the threat is new and doesn’t have a signature. The program includes a “cleanup’ utility as well as other tune-up utilities that can increase the performance of your PC.
