Do not match. Here, despite the use of the “possible”, but it makes the user a insecurity, leading to renounce the use of or results to avoid using QQ2010 software, so that “might” become a determining
Conclusions are bound to create users in the use of “360 Privacy Protector” after negative awareness and evaluation on the QQ2010 software.

Group blog, in a special Web page of the user privacy than day also has a certain number of QQ software evaluation and presentation. These evaluation and presentation, using a “peep”, “for the benefit of peep”, “look into your
Private files “,” such as mount at the back of a malicious “, hooliganism, inverse days-track, complaints, peeping QQ users for a long time, up to carefully use words such as QQ and QQ to evaluation software. Expression of the premise, is
The above “may involve your privacy” was established. But through the above discussion does not involve use of QQ2010 software in connection with the user’s privacy. In addition, the assessment words and expressions, with a strong
Emotional and has a negative rating effects and misleading results.
