360 Security will ensure that nothing threatening lurks in your web or download files. It can block access to suspicious sites, scan the history of your browser, keep track of the amount of data you’re using, and even locate your phone that has gone missing.
The suite includes a firewall and a shredder of data, as with tools to keep your system according to a schedule. It can update drivers automatically, has anti-tracking features and gives you access to tech support in just one click.
The software’s interface is intuitive and user-friendly even though there are a lot of options and settings. Most things are controlled by a large button, switch or checkmark, which is a good thing from an ergonomics perspective. The program is accessible on both Windows and Mac, and it’s free to use (ad-supported).
The antivirus does a decent job at protecting your computer from malware. Its real-time protection detects more than 99% of threats, and it didn’t produce false positives during my tests. It doesn’t offer the same degree of detection as other top products when it comes to the scanning of files and heuristics.
360 Total Security offers a variety of security and maintenance functions that include the VPN available only available in the premium version. Its heuristic engine detects malware by looking at a program’s behavior. This can be quite useful in the event that the threat is new and does not have a signature. The program also has an “cleanup” utility as well as other tune-up tools that can help improve the performance of PCs.
