360 security guard launches Mac version, analysts say it feels like a cold joke

At 4:00 p.m. yesterday, the Mac version of 360 security guard was released on the 360 official forum. Mac 360 security guard focuses on garbage cleaning and Internet security, with functions of home page overview, garbage cleaning, software uninstallation, web page protection and hardware information. Compared with the complicated options and functions on the PC side, the four simple functions of 360 security guard are not available for Mac users, just gathering the original MAC functions together.

According to the statistics report on the development of China's Internet, by the end of December 2012, the number of Internet users in China had reached 564 million. According to Qihu's unaudited financial report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, as of the end of September 2012, the number of monthly active users of Qihu 360's products and services had reached 442 million, a record.

360, who has been on the popular route, can't help but start attacking the Mac. The 'home page overview' shows some basic properties of the machine, similar to the 'about the machine' on the Mac. Some instructions for cleaning up the space and the page protection switches are added below.

"Garbage cleaning" is a problem worthy of consideration. The "log" is of little significance to ordinary users. However, although cache cleaning can free some space, the restart of some applications will slow down the start-up speed.

'software uninstall' is one of the most disappointing features. Because 360 security guard cannot delete the default mac software, the classification of 'all' and 'app store' becomes meaningless for ordinary users. Users entering 'finder' can delete all installed applications in 'application'. In addition, after four fingers grab the touch pad and enter the 'launchpad' interface, the deletion of non default applications on MAC is similar to IOS. Long press to activate and click to delete, which is not only not troublesome but also vivid. Some remaining plist files do not occupy space, only a dozen KB. In addition, there are so many applications installed on Mac that need to be deleted in batches?

'page protection' provides three browser protection functions,'Safari''Chrome'and'Firefox'. In fact, it adds 360 plug-ins to the corresponding browser. However, as a browser plug-in, it has no direct contact with the Mac, and is more like a function that is forced to fill in the big.

"Hardware information" shows the detailed hardware information of the machine, but the actual content is not as detailed as "system report" in MAC. Although it is more friendly in interface design, the parameters on "home page Overview" are enough for ordinary users. For professionals who really need to view the configuration of the machine, the "system report" is complete. This function is reduced to "look useful".

Although these functions of 360 don't seem to be of much use, I'm sure that the card of cardinal Zhou Hongyi won't be defeated in this way! Look forward to the follow-up work of 360!
