Kaspersky and Bitdefender take a stricter but more secure approach, deciding themselves what's dangerous and killing the offending process immediately.ģ60 Total Security's behavior monitoring also failed when we pitted it against our own custom ransomware, which was able to encrypt all 11,000 of our sample files. We ran an app which accessed a web page to find its global IP, but although 360 Total Security raised an alert, it said the app was downloading a Trojan. Other antivirus typically check only new and changed files, and Kaspersky's second scan took only 2:50, while Bitdefender's was only 27 seconds. 360 Total Security took 34 minutes to scan our 50G of test files, for instance, better than Bitdefender (39 minutes) but trailing Kaspersky (29 minutes.) But it didn't make much effort to optimize subsequent scans, and our second run still took 29 minutes. Scan times were mid-range as best, and didn't improve as we hoped. It's not smart enough to run simultaneous scans, though, so if you try a right-click scan while it's running another, you'll be told to 'try again later.' You can also scan selected files, folders and drives from Explorer's right-click drive.

(Apps may crash or otherwise misbehave if they don't see settings in the range they expect.)ģ60 Total Security looks and feels much like any other security suite you've ever seen: it adds an icon to your system tray, left clicking opens a dashboard with your security status, and a left-hand sidebar presents icons for its various functions (Virus Scan, Speedup, Cleanup, Tool Box, Account),Ĭlicking the Virus Scan button displays three scan types: Quick, Full and a limited Custom scan (you can choose locations on your hard drive, but not whether you want to scan memory, the Registry, removable drives, or other options you might get with more configurable applications). And we were able to delete multiple Registry settings, suggesting more serious attacks might be possible. But then we managed to disable the anti-ransomware Document Protector entirely (more on that below). The results looked good, initially, with the core antivirus engine brushing all our attacks aside.

We run various tests for this, including trying to change Registry settings, alter configuration files, unload drivers and terminate key processes. Security apps with a lot of files and processes can leave them more open to attack by malware, which will often try to disable any antivirus before taking over your PC. We ran PCMark Professional before and after installing 360 Total Security and there was only a couple of points difference in our score, within the range of error we would expect from comparing two runs. That's no great surprise when you look at all the features you're getting, though, and it didn't seem to make the tiniest difference to performance. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus looks similar at $25 for its own one-year, three-device license, but that's only because of the introductory discount: it jumps to $60 a year when you renew.
