IDK, but I reckon they work close within the hacker scene, as they are great at providing ransomware keys. I like Bitdefender, but the free version doesn’t include anti-ransomware. Otherwise, if 360 TS (free) went away, I’d just use Windows Security, which also has anti-ransomware and is free with the OS. If I was to pay for my anti-virus, I’d go with Avast, of which I see is a sponsor of ghacks right now. I once had the full version, but I didn’t notice much difference at all, so I eventually went back to the free version. I’ve been using it for at least 4 years with no issues. In the software it has a place called “Toolbox” where it offers 3rd party software, but I just stay away from that sketchy section.īesides the good anti-virus, 360 TS (free) also includes anti-ransomware and a Sandbox. If it detects a PUP or such, in the warning Window it does have an offer to buy the full version, but i just ignore that part. It gives me no pop-up nags at all that I know of.

In the software it has a small banner with an offer to buy the full version. When it updates the software (about 4x a year) is offers you to buy the full version (as expected), but I just click “no thanks” with no issues. I don’t get any annoying nags from 360 TS (free). Just don’t use it if you work for Raytheon or the like, ha. Regardless, their team finds many new exploits/viruses, and they share that info with everyone. I quit when they dropped the hammer on Hong Kong. They have even boasted about those military connections on their English blog. They do indeed work very close with the Chinese government and military, so there’s that. Know 360 TS is not a popular option in the USA and such, but many people on Earth use it with little complaints, if any.
