While you’re surfing the web or downloading files, 360 security will be present to make sure nothing malicious lurks. It can block access from suspicious sites, scan the history of your browser, track how much data you use, and even locate your phone that has gone missing.

The suite also includes firewalls, a shredder for data, and scheduled tools for cleaning your system. It is able to automatically update drivers, has anti-tracking features and even grants you privileged access to tech support by just a single click.

The interface of the program is easy and easy to use, even though there are many options and settings. The majority of things are controlled via the large buttons, switches or checkmark, which is a good thing for ergonomics. The software is free and accessible for both Windows and Mac.

The antivirus does a good job of protecting your computer from malware. Its real-time security detects more than 99% of threats, and it didn’t trigger any false positives in my tests. However, it’s not able to provide the same level of detection that structured documents the leading products do in terms of file scanning and heuristics.

360 Total Security comes with various security and maintenance options. A VPN is included in the premium version. The heuristic algorithm it uses to detect malware by examining the behavior of a program, which is quite useful, particularly in the event that the threat hasn’t yet been identified. The program also comes with the ability to clean up and other tune-up tools that can help improve PC performance.
