This contribution has been acknowledged by Microsoft in several occasions. According to the Redmond company, 360 ‘minimized the threat to customers everywhere by ensuring that Microsoft could fix the problem before malicious users even knew it existed.’ Also, Microsoft has included 360’s international antivirus, 360 Total Security, into its recommended antivirus software list.
