Qihoo has released a new app for Android, and it is named 360 Mobile Security. This app as you can guess is an antivirus for your phone that uses a strange tactic to find malware. Qihoo uses their engine, and a cloud based engine to scan your phone. The best thing about this for you is better detection rates, and more ways to check the app for malware.
Features
Antivirus Scanner: This is the obvious item for every antivirus software on the market. It comes with a quick scan, and a full scan.
Antivirus Protection: 360 Mobile Security will actually monitor your device for malicious apps, acts, and messages that might contain malicious links. So as you can guess this is a very powerful antivirus and that is true, but there is more.
Vulnerability Scanner: This is the strange item, this app will scan your device for vulnerabilities found in the OS custom or from Google and protect those vulnerabilities. I used on Jellybean 4.1.2, and it found 2 vulnerabilities, they were mostly the spam messages, and now it protects me from those.
Those are all of the features for this app. Considering it was released last night this is a good start for them. I have submitted a report to them regarding new things that they can add to the APP, and we will see what happens. This app can go either way, it will either be the next big thing or it will end in disaster and will be shunned out.
Is It Safe?
Yes the app is safe, I was testing their antivirus on my computer, and the only issue was a false positive from VIPRE. The mobile app is safe and later today their Antivirus Software will be safe. This is according to 40+ antivirus companies so who knows but yes I am using the app right now because I want to see were this is APP is heading. While the app is new and lacks features, it does have a powerful AV engine. I recommend that you check it out on the Android market place.
