Baidu Antivirus Editor's Review

When it comes to selecting suitable security software for computers, it can be rather baffling for average users. Nowadays, PC security has become a matter of utmost importance and choosing the wrong app can prove to be detrimental. There are apps from established players in PC security segment as well as newcomers. Baidu Antivirus may not be well known to the users in Europe. This comes from the company that owns the largest internet search service in China. It is a free antivirus with sleek interface and available worldwide.

Baidu Antivirus has a small installer and installation does not require much time. The app supports PCs with Windows XP and later versions. It supports installation in safe mode which can comes in handy in malware infested PCs.

The software features a sleek blue themed interface. It offers three scanning modes- custom, quick, full. As expected, full scans tend to be quite lengthy. It is not exactly light on system resources and people with older PCs with feel the effect noticeably. The protection modes- strict, fast, and standard, also impacts system resource utilization. The app offers USB protection, USB protection and integration with Windows Explorer for file shredding. It uses Avira core engine for malware protection.

If you are a particular about assessing an antivirus app by the security lab result, Baidu Antivirus will leave you grudging. It does not participate in ICSA Labs testing and AV-Comparatives tests. The lab tests that include Baidu indicate it is better equipped in detecting malware than handling them.

The app offers download and phishing protection but has no option to thwart malware at url level, which is disappointing. The malware detection during download is not very effective either. It can declare some malicious files as safe, which is risky for any user. Other free antivirus apps like avast and AVG score far better in these grounds. Baidu also offers behavior based malware detection apart from signature based detection. The app fares average in false positive scoring. It does detect some valid utilities as malware, especially those that lack a digital signature. Baidu does not fare very well in blocking malware that manages to download either.

Installing and using antivirus apps on a malware infested system can prove to be tedious. Baidu can be installed in safe mode but there is no bootable disc option. Tech support is available through email and social media but no live chat option is there.

Baidu Antivirus does ship with an anti phishing component but it hardly springs into action. In fact, it scores very low in phishing site detection. Rivals like Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition trounce it in this segment with excellent scores.

Positive Points:
 -  Easy and fast installation.
 -  Sleek, user friendly interface.
 -  Decent tech support.

Negative Points:
 -  Average malware detection rate.
 -  Terrible phishing protection performance.
 -  Marks some rogue files as safe.
 -  False positive score average.

Conclusion:
After trying and analyzing Baidu Antivirus, you cannot help remembering the age old proverb- all that glitters is not gold. The sleek interface may attract users but when it comes to malware blocking and removal, Baidu gets beaten by nearly contenders in its segment. It scores abysmally in phishing protection and there is nothing much to say about its other protection components either. You should opt for other free antivirus solutions than trying this one.

Rating: 3.5/5
