Some security experts view this as overkill because most modern browsers give a warning if you have visited an unstable or dangerous site. As an optional choice, there's a browser extension that notifies you when you visit a potentially malicious URL. You can, however, choose to re-enable these resources for extra defense. The software developers who created them did this because it frees up your RAM resources. For example, 360 Total Security alerts you if you need to restart your computer to remove the threat.īy default, the Bitdefender and the Avira engines have been disabled. Scans for threats happen within minutes, and the attention to detail sets this antivirus program apart from the rest.
The software uses five different antivirus engines that include Avira, CVMII, Bitdefender and the 360 Cloud Engine. Instead of going out and spending money on anti-viruses, there are free malware programs like 360 Total Security. NOTE- In the year 2017, Qihoo 360 said in its security report that Cosmic Strand was backdoor-ed on the Asus B85M motherboards by a vendor in the supply chain.Malicious viruses, websites, and other threats exist in the world of the internet. What’s interesting about this malware is that it was existing from the past 4-5 years and Chinese antivirus vendor Qihoo 360 discovered it for the first time in 2017.īut somehow the said malicious software hid for several years and was dug out and revealed to the world by Kaspersky.
The only good news is that the malware has so far infected Intel H81 Chipsets that were induced into the market in 2013 and has capabilities to give full control to remote hackers.Īs of now, information is out that the Cosmic Strand gained its presence from another malware strain and was devised to extract, modify and overwrite the motherboards firmware. CosmicStrand has reportedly claimed victims from Russia, China, Vietnam and Iran and so the intelligence from Kremlin feels the malware was developed by West and aimed to gather intelligence from individuals.
