If you’re surfing the internet or downloading files, 360 security will be there to ensure nothing harmful is lurking. It will block access to suspicious sites, scan the history of your browser, track how much data you use, and even locate the phone you’ve lost.
The suite also includes an firewall, a shredder for data, and scheduled tools for cleaning the system. It is able to automatically update drivers with anti-tracking tools and even gives you access to privileged access to tech support with just one click.
The software’s interface is intuitive and easy to use, even though there are a lot of options and settings. The majority of things are controlled by a large switch or button. This is great from a ergonomic perspective. The program is available on both Windows and Mac and is free to use (ad-supported).
The antivirus does an excellent job of securing your computer from malware. Its real-time security detects more than 99percent of threats, and it didn’t produce any false positives in my testing. It’s not as effective in terms of degree of detection as other top products when it comes to scans and heuristics.
360 Total Security comes with several security and maintenance options. A VPN is available in the premium version. Its heuristic engine detects malware by examining a program’s behavior, which is quite helpful particularly if the threat isn’t well-known and doesn’t have a signature. It comes with a “clean up tool, along with other tune-up tools that can increase the performance of your PC.
