360 Total Security je sigurnosni paket koji je razvila kineska tvrtka Qihoo 360 . Tvrtka je osnovana 2005. godine, a poslovanje joj je vrlo dobro jer je u 2014. godini njezine sigurnosne proizvode koristilo više od 496 milijuna korisnika diljem svijeta. Danas bi ta brojka mogla biti još značajnija. Najbolji besplatni antivirusni proizvod tvrtke zove se 360 ​​Total Security i obećava da će očistiti, a također i ubrzati Windows za svoje korisnike. Naravno, zanimalo nas je može li to učiniti dobro. Nakon nekoliko dana testiranja, evo naše recenzije 360 ​​Total Security :

U čemu je dobar 360 Total Security?

360 Total Security je dobar sigurnosni softver za korisnike koji:

• Ne želite platiti antivirusni softver
• Osjećajte se opušteno dok petljate s njim kako biste dobili pristojnu antivirusnu zaštitu
• Želite besplatan VPN alat i spremni ste se zadovoljiti ograničenim prometom

Za i protiv

Evo dobrih stvari koje smo identificirali u vezi s 360 Total Security :

• Besplatno je
• Ima jednostavno i lako za korištenje sučelje
• Nudi VPN alat

Ipak ima mnogo negativnih strana:

• Ne može vas učinkovito zaštititi od zlonamjernog softvera osim ako ručno ne omogućite antivirusne mehanizme Bitdefender i Avira AntiVir
• To vas ne sprječava da posjećujete opasne web stranice
• Nema modul vatrozida, iako se zove Total Security
• Prikazuje se puno reklama
• To usporava vrijeme pokretanja vašeg računala i prijenos datoteka unutar vaše lokalne mreže
• Mnogi dodatni alati u paketu ili nisu korisni ili se ne mogu koristiti osim ako ne kupite pretplatu

Presuda

360 Total Security vjerojatno je najgori sigurnosni paket koji smo ikada pregledali. Na papiru izgleda lijepo, ali stvarnost je ružna i puna problema. Antivirusni mehanizam koji koristi prema zadanim postavkama je slab i ne može spriječiti zlonamjerni softver i ransomware da unište sve što imate na računalu, a sigurnosno proširenje preglednika ne čini ništa da vas spriječi da posjećujete opasne web stranice. Obični korisnici koji preuzmu i instaliraju ovaj sigurnosni paket praktički ostaju nezaštićeni od svih vrsta prijetnji. 360 Total Security ne uspijeva u svojoj najvažnijoj svrsi zaštite korisnika od kibernetičkih prijetnji. Naravno, možete se poigrati s tim i omogućiti korištenje Bitdefendera^{(Bitdefender)} i Avira AntiVirmotora, ali to neće učiniti obični korisnici. Ne možemo nikome preporučiti ovaj proizvod. Bolje vam je koristiti Windows Defender iz sustava Windows^(Windows) .

Iskustvo preuzimanja i instalacije

Da biste dobili 360 Total Security na svom računalu, prvo ga morate preuzeti. Možete odabrati da dobijete malu izvršnu datoteku koja preuzima sve potrebne podatke tijekom instalacije ili možete preuzeti potpuni offline instalacijski program odmah od početka, koji ima sve što vam je potrebno za instalaciju proizvoda. U svakom slučaju, s interneta ćete preuzeti oko 71,7 MB podataka. Pozitivna stvar koju moramo spomenuti je da se od vas ne traže nikakvi osobni podaci.

Čarobnjak za instalaciju je jednostavan i jasan, a jedino što vam omogućuje da odaberete je želite li se "Pridružiti se programu za poboljšanje korisničkog iskustva 360"^{("Join 360 User Experience Improvement Program")} i "Instalirati siguran i brz preglednik Opera". ^{("Install Safe and Fast Opera Browser.")}Obje su ove opcije označene prema zadanim postavkama, ali nijedna od njih nije obvezna. Preporučujemo da poništite opciju koja instalira Opera osim ako ne želite ovaj web preglednik na svom računalu. Također možete odabrati instalacijsku mapu za sigurnosni paket.

Kada je instalacija gotova, 360 Total Security traži ponovno pokretanje vašeg računala. Da biste bili zaštićeni, trebali biste to učiniti.

Nakon pokretanja računala, dočekao nas je 360 ​​Total Security s prozorom pod nazivom 360 Startup Timer , u kojem je bilo prikazano nekoliko vijesti ispod mnoštva oglasa. Ovo je užasan početak.

Zatim smo pokušali otvoriti primarno sučelje sigurnosnog paketa i umjesto da ga vidi, 360 Total Security je pomislio da bi bilo bolje otvoriti 360 Instant Setup . To je dodatni alat koji vam pomaže instalirati softver treće strane "jednim klikom", na sličan način kao Ninite . To je koristan alat, ali nije ono što korisniku treba kada pokuša otvoriti 360 Total Security .

Nakon što smo zatvorili 360 Instant Setup , konačno smo mogli vidjeti glavno sučelje 360 ​​Total Security . Na prvi pogled činilo se prilično jednostavnim i lakim za korištenje.

Preuzimanje i instaliranje 360 ​​Total Security na vaše Windows računalo je jednostavno i jednostavno. Svidjelo nam se činjenica da možete koristiti offline instalacijski program i da od korisnika nisu potrebni osobni podaci prije instaliranja. Međutim, ne sviđa nam se činjenica da instalacijski program pokušava instalirati dodatni softver koji niste tražili, čak i ako je taj softver legitiman. Također, ne cijenimo prisutnost oglasa na radnoj površini korisnika, a ne sviđa nam se i činjenica da prvi susret s 360 Total Security nije s njegovim primarnim korisničkim sučeljem, već s dodatnim alatom.^{(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.)}

Integracija sa sustavom Windows^(Windows) , web preglednicima i univerzalnim Windows aplikacijama

360 Total Security onemogućuje Windows Defender tijekom njegove instalacije, a to je dobro jer istovremeno pokretanje dvije antivirusne aplikacije može značiti sukobe i probleme s performansama. Međutim, ne onemogućuje Windows vatrozid^{(Windows Firewall)} , ali to je u redu jer ne uključuje vlastiti modul vatrozida. Budući da nema modul vatrozida, nismo imali problema s korištenjem mrežnih značajki u sustavu Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} . Uspjeli smo stvoriti i pridružiti se matičnoj grupi^(homegroup) , mogli smo pristupiti mrežnim dijeljenjima i streamati medijske datoteke preko mreže i nismo imali problema s preuzimanjem, instalacijom ili korištenjem univerzalnih Windows aplikacija^{(universal Windows apps)} .

Provjerili smo i kako 360 Total Security odlučuje zaštititi svoje korisnike od online prijetnji. Doznali smo da to čini instaliranjem proširenja web preglednika pod nazivom "360 Internet Protection" . Dostupan je za Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge i preglednik Yandex^{(Yandex Browser)} . Ako ne koristite jedan od ovih web preglednika, 360 Total Security ne čini ništa da vas zaštiti od opasnosti na mreži.

Koristili smo Task Manager za praćenje koliko RAM-a^(RAM) treba 360 Total Security za pokretanje svojih procesa. Na našem testnom računalu koristio je samo oko 66 MB RAM-a^(RAM) , što je mala vrijednost.

Zatim smo provjerili koliko to utječe na vrijeme pokretanja. Koristeći BootRacer, izmjerili smo da je 360 ​​Total Security dodao više od 7 sekundi pokretanju našeg sustava. To je 38% više vremena dodano izvornom vremenu pokretanja i. U slučaju da se pitate, koristimo brzi NVMe Samsung SSD , tako da će ovo povećanje vremena vjerojatno biti još veće na sustavu koji koristi tradicionalni tvrdi disk.

Kako bismo provjerili utječe li na brzinu interneta 360 Total Security , izvršili smo nekoliko testova sa Speedtest.net . Brzine prijenosa bile su iste prije i nakon instaliranja sigurnosnog paketa, i to je izvrsno. Međutim, kada smo testirali brzinu prijenosa i preuzimanja za kretanje datoteka kroz lokalnu mrežu, LAN Speed ​​Test je pokazao da je sigurnosni paket usporio prijenos za 23 posto, a brzinu preuzimanja za 7 posto. To su znatno sporiji prijenosi podataka unutar lokalne mreže.

360 Total Security ne nudi modul vatrozida, ali to znači da ne biste trebali imati problema s korištenjem mrežnih značajki iz Windowsa. Nažalost, ne uključuje ni mehanizam za filtriranje internetskog prometa, kako bi vas zaštitio od opasnih web-mjesta. Međutim, postoji proširenje za web preglednik koje bi vas trebalo osigurati kada surfate webom, ali samo ako koristite popularni preglednik koji to podržava. Konačno, bili smo razočarani kada smo vidjeli da je 360 ​​Total Security uvelike ^{(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 )}usporio ^{(slowed )}vrijeme pokretanja i prijenos podataka našeg testnog računala.^{(the boot times and data transfers of our test computer down a lot.)}

Jednostavnost korištenja i konfiguracije

Na prvi dojam korisničko sučelje koje nudi 360 Total Security izgleda dobro i lako se koristi. Na lijevoj strani prozora nalazi se izbornik u kojem možete pristupiti glavnim funkcijama sigurnosnog paketa, a na desnoj strani prozora možete vidjeti njihove detalje. Možete pokrenuti potpunu provjeru^{(Full Check)} za prilagodbe koje se mogu izvršiti kako bi vaše računalo bilo brže, kao i za uklanjanje virusa s njega, čišćenje bezvrijednih datoteka ili sigurniju WiFi vezu.

Antivirusni modul koji nudi 360 Total Security koristi antivirusni mehanizam tvrtke, ali može koristiti i Bitdefender i Avira AntiVir antivirusni motor. Oni puno bolje rade svoj posao, kao što ćete vidjeti kasnije u ovom pregledu. Međutim, ako ih želite koristiti, morate ih preuzeti ručno, klikom na njihove ikone na dnu odjeljka Skeniranje virusa korisničkog sučelja.^{(Virus Scan)}

Zatim, da biste ih koristili za otkrivanje zlonamjernog softvera, morate otvoriti odjeljak Zaštita^(Protection) primarnog sučelja i odabrati način Sigurnosne^(Security) zaštite.

Ako želite ići u detalje, s lijeve strane možete odabrati odjeljke Skeniranje virusa, Ubrzavanje, Čišćenje^{(Virus Scan, Speedup, Cleanup)} ili Kutija^{(Tool Box)} s alatima te pokrenuti provjere ili izvršiti izmjene na desnoj strani sučelja. Međutim, neke su stvari pristupačnije ili dostupne samo na izborniku Postavke^(Settings) kojemu možete pristupiti s gornje desne strane prozora aplikacije. Osim lociranja svih dostupnih postavki^(Settings) , ovo je također mjesto odakle možete brže ući u karantenu^(Quarantine) , vidjeti zapise, poslati povratne informacije^(Feedback) ili provjeriti ažuriranja^{(Check for updates)} .

Ako volite koristiti teme na svakoj aplikaciji i uređaju koji vam to omogućuje, možda će vam se svidjeti činjenica da 360 Total Security nudi ovu značajku. Kliknite^(Click) ili dodirnite ikonu majice u gornjem desnom kutu glavnog sučelja i odaberite željenu temu. To nije nešto što često vidite u sigurnosnom softveru.

Također je vrijedno spomenuti da bi korisničko sučelje i sve postavke u njemu, trebale biti jednostavne za korištenje na bilo kojem uređaju, čak i na onima sa zaslonom osjetljivim na dodir. Većinom se stvari upravlja ili velikim gumbom, prekidačem ili kvačicom, a to je dobro s gledišta ergonomije.

Većina značajki i postavki dostupnih u 360 Total Security lako je razumjeti. Međutim, u sigurnosnom paketu nema informacija o pomoći. Ako se želite educirati o ovom proizvodu, morate otići na internet i posjetiti njegovu web stranicu^{(visit its website)} . S druge strane, sigurnosni paket nudi jednostavan način traženja podrške, kojemu možete pristupiti otvaranjem njegovog izbornika Postavke^(Settings) , a zatim klikom na opciju Povratne informacije^(Feedback) .

Što se tiče izvješća, 360 Total Security svojim korisnicima daje zapisnike sigurnosnih događaja koje je zabilježio. Dnevnici su detaljni, ali su samo tekstualni, pa ako ste poželjeli nešto vizualnije, nemate sreće.

S gledišta interakcije korisnika, moramo vam reći da smo vidjeli upozorenja kada je zlonamjerni softver identificiran, ali i mnoge reklame koje su iskočile niotkuda, cijelo vrijeme. Zato nam je korištenje 360 ​​Total Security bilo neugodno iskustvo.

360 Total Security nudi korisničko sučelje koje je jednostavno i lako za korištenje, kako na računalima s mišem i tipkovnicom, tako i na uređajima sa zaslonima osjetljivim na dodir. Međutim, korisničko iskustvo je neugodno, jer je korisničko sučelje ispunjeno reklamama koje se prikazuju u svim kutovima ovog proizvoda, a također i na radnoj površini.^{(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.)}

Pročitajte sljedeću stranicu recenzije kako biste vidjeli koliko vas 360 Total Security učinkovito štiti od zlonamjernog softvera i mrežnih prijetnji. Također možete saznati koji su dodatni alati priloženi uz njega i koje postavke biste trebali razmisliti o prilagođavanju.

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.
