Anyone using Qihoo 360 Total Security
I'm looking for a new anti virus program to run as I'm sick of the constant nag screens from AVG.
Qihoo 360 Total Security looks good, as does Avira Free Antivirus. Any comments on either program.
I'm currently using Microsoft Security Essentials until I can find something better.To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

Avast is a free for non commercial use prog that I have used for many years and a good free firewall prog is Zone Alarm.
Avast does require you to reactivate about every 6 months or so but is no big deal.

I use Trend Micro Max Security and have for years. You can get it on special if you shop around - I usually buy from JB HIFI. Don't buy from Trend Micro themselves - too dear. JB has it for $54 plus $20 cash back for 2 devices at the moment.
It runs in the background and is generally non intrusive.

Just a heads up on what's been happening. I've been using Avira and Malawarebytes for over a week now and I have been getting a lot of warnings on known safe sites. Also Avira hangs when doing a full scan of the system, as well as throwing up warnings about autoruns, even though I have disabled the check on my external HDD's. Avira has its fair share of nags to upgrade, so I've decided to go back to AVG. I've never had problems using it so I'll put up with the nags to upgrade.

I have been using AVG free for at least 15 years with no problems, very reliable and I set scanning for early am hours when Im asleep, no problem
The person who never made a mistake never made anything
