Antiviruses have become an indispensable part of the operating room Windows systems, because most often they write under it malware. The task of the “defenders” is to protect the user from data loss or hacking, as well as other malicious actions. Antivirus 360 Total Security is, in principle, a good program, but only if it is downloaded from a reliable source. In addition, even the real version of this application sometimes annoys users by significantly slowing down the computer with background scanning and monitoring. In fact, the program repeats the fate of Avast, which also likes to slow down. Let's take a closer look at how to remove 360 ​​Total Security on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10.

The first thing we need to do is disable the application so that it “stops cursing” when we want to get rid of it. We turn our attention to the tray, if we don’t find the antivirus icon there, open the spread (up arrow). It all looks like this:

Now right-click on this icon and select “Exit”, and then do the same thing again, in another window that appears:

When you have done all this, the application will be closed and can now be successfully uninstalled. Previously, in other articles, we showed a program that perfectly removes applications from a computer, including their junk. Let's remember what it's called « Revo Uninstaller» . This case is no exception, and now we will perform a “ritual” of removing antivirus from a computer using it. You can download it from the official website. You can use the PRO version of the program for a trial period (30 days), and then, if desired, pay for a license or find a crack on the Internet.

To completely remove 360 ​​Total Security from your computer:

1. Let's go to "Revo Uninstaller" and wait until the installations are downloaded on your PC;
2. Our antivirus appeared in the list of “New programs”, although the installation was 136 days ago, if you noticed in the screenshot earlier;
   
   
3. Double-click on the program with the left mouse button and start the uninstallation process;
   
   
4. While this window was displayed, another one appeared, but from the antivirus itself. There you will be asked “what happened”, but your task is not to be fooled and click “The information is clear - continue deleting”;
   
   
5. After clicking the button, you will be asked again. Now you know what to do;
   
   
6. Finally, the program will show a nice uninstall window, and the system will signal that there is now no protection against viruses, spyware, etc. An announcement will be displayed in the system tray that the 360 ​​Total Security application has been removed from startup.
   
   
   
7. Now we need to search for garbage that remains from the antivirus. To do this, in the “Revo Uninstaller” window, select the “Advanced” search method and wait until the program finds the files;
   
   
8. The search process, of course, will not be fast, but quite reliable, because the uninstaller will scan the entire computer, and not just the folder in which the antivirus was installed;
9. After the application finds all the files, your task will be to delete those that are highlighted in black. This is done quite easily - check the box next to the file name, and when you have entered everything, click “Delete”;
   
   
10. Please note that the registry will be cleaned first. Gradually click “Next” to move on to new files. Eventually you will get to “forgotten folders and files”. They also need to be deleted, and then click “End”;
    
    
11. When you finish deleting the files left by the antivirus, the program will notify you that the uninstallation is complete or will open the settings window again. Now you need to restart your computer to, firstly, commit the changes,
    
    
    and secondly, make sure that the speed of work has improved.

That’s how easy it was for us to get rid of 360 Total Security on Windows. The instructions were performed on Windows 10, but they are similar for 7, 8, 8.1.

Antivirus on Chinese

Quite often, along with useful programs, useless ones can be installed on your computer, and without your permission. One such application is Chinese antivirus 360 Qihoo.

Consequences of installing 360 Qihoo antivirus

If you accidentally installed in your operating system Chinese utility 360, then not everything is so bad. The interface of this program was made entirely in Chinese by foreign programmers.

The antivirus interface is made in Chinese

Therefore, even if it finds a virus, you will not be able to confirm the treatment or perform the removal, since you do not know Chinese and do not know how to manage this antivirus. In addition, Qihoo 360 will constantly show you intrusive messages and pop-ups that you do not understand. This is distracting and makes it difficult to work with other programs.

It will also be difficult to remove Chinese antivirus 360, due to the hieroglyphic characters on the control buttons in the installer interface.

In the end, it seems like we got antivirus program, but completely useless and even harmful, since viruses remain in the system, and we cannot cure them normally, for the reasons stated above.

How to remove Chinese Qihoo 360 antivirus using an uninstaller

Open the Start menu. Find in the list of programs and select the folder “360 ᵵ ᴂ ȸ Ѭ” (should contain 360 and hieroglyphs) or find in the list a folder whose name consists partially or entirely of hieroglyphs.

Folder with 360 qihoo antivirus uninstaller

Open this folder and find in it a program with a bucket icon and an inscription in Chinese containing “360” (it is indicated by an arrow in the picture above). This is an antivirus uninstaller program. Run it with administrator rights (or as administrator via the context menu).

If you have enough rights to uninstall, the program will start and a window will appear as in the figure.

The initial window of the 360 ​​Qihoo antivirus removal dialog

The green button with hieroglyphs at the bottom of the window will be active by default, but you should leave it alone and click on the blue hieroglyphs on the left (indicated by the red arrow in the picture).

Second dialog window when uninstalling antivirus 360

After clicking inside this window, a choice of two gray buttons will appear. Select the left one again (as shown in the figure by the arrow).

Click left button in the delete dialog in Chinese

And only after this step, if you did everything correctly, the removal of Chinese antivirus 360 will begin. The removal process will look something like the following figure.

The removal process has started

Once completed, another similar window will appear with a button in the center with two icons. We will press this button and complete the removal process.

After clicking, the window will close and a browser will open with the 360.cn website. This is the website page of the manufacturer of this antivirus.

Page with a questionnaire for a qihoo 360 user

It contains a questionnaire asking you about your experience using 360 software products and why you deleted it. Just close it and restart your computer.

All! The Chinese version of 360 Total Security has been removed from your machine.

If at some stage of the uninstallation you are stuck and cannot figure it out, watch the video on how to properly remove 360 ​​qihoo in Chinese.

If you have any questions, ask them in the comments

For many users, the 360 ​​Total Security uninstallation process causes problems. Therefore, if you do not know how to completely remove 360 ​​Total Security from your computer, use this article, where the process is described in detail.

What is this?

360 Total Security is antivirus software developed by Chinese engineers (it’s interesting to read “”). It is distributed completely free of charge and consists of several components:

• Qihoo 360 antivirus;
• Avira engine;
• built-in modules represented by the firewall;
• cloud protection technologies (for free programs it is a rarity).

The utility is distributed in two versions: classic and Essential. The first option is designed to protect your PC from viruses and includes modules to speed up the device and remove garbage from the OS. The second type of utility is used to protect the user's computer from malware.

Difficulty of removal

The disadvantage of Qihoo 360 products is their self installation to the computer in the form of accompanying software. In addition, the interface of such programs is often localized in Chinese, so problems arise with their removal.

Another one unpleasant feature 360 Total Security - it has built-in protection against accidental deletion by inexperienced users or other anti-virus software that the user wants to install on the computer.

Removal

You can remove the program yourself or using third-party utilities.

Manually

1. Open the system tray → RMB for antivirus → Exit → confirm the action.
2. RMB on the Start menu → Programs and Features.
3. RMB for 360 Total Security → Delete/Change → confirm the action.
   
   

   Important! After you have removed the antivirus from the system, restart your computer!

4. This computer → drive C → Program Files (x86) → RMB on the folder called 360 → Delete.
   

Utilities

To save time and not go into details of the antivirus uninstallation process, use the program

I still use this wonderful one free antivirus and was not disappointed in him, as you might think from the title of the article. It's just continuation of the 360 ​​Total Security review.

Today I’ll tell you how to remove 360 ​​Total Security (it turned out that some users have difficulty with this) and how you can remove its additional security engines (and not just disable them) if you are not going to use them. I’ll also show you where and how to add files to exceptions.

How to remove 360 ​​Total Security

There is absolutely nothing complicated or secret about this operation. It’s just that this antivirus (like all others) has its own security service, which makes sure that some smart virus, before infecting your computer, does not remove the defender without your approval, secretly.

And also the majority computer programs you need to close before deleting, disable their services running in the background - many users also do not know this and begin to panic, blaming good programs in whatever.

The knowledge gained today will help you remove most “uninstallable” programs, and not just antiviruses.

So, to remove 360 ​​Total Security you need to go to the antivirus settings, through three lines in the upper right corner of the main program window...

...and by unchecking these two checkboxes in the “General” section (scrolling down the menu)…

...restart the operating system. After this, you can safely remove this antivirus as follows: regular program any uninstaller (or using the famous C Cleaner), and if you don’t have such utilities, then built-in using Windows- the result will be equally successful.

Using the method described above, I calmly and without problems removed 360 Total Security several times.

How to remove additional engines

The additional protection engines Avira AntiVir and BitdefenderAntiVir are disabled by default in this antivirus (I wrote about how to activate them in a previous article) - now I’ll tell you how you can remove them completely. To be honest, I don’t understand why you would do this, but oh well.

Go again to “Settings” and in the “Antivirus” section (scrolling down the menu)…

...remove the engine you hate. By the way, it should not be activated earlier in the program.

In the same settings section you can schedule a computer scan...

Exceptions in 360 Total Security

Many people ask how to add a file or folder to antivirus exclusions so that it never scans them. Elementary - in the defender settings, go to the “White List” section and indicate your “touchy ones”...

Disable deletion of “everything”

Some users complain that the antivirus deletes everything from their computer. Especially for them there is an item “Action when a threat is detected.” It can be found in the “Active Protection” settings section (the “System” tab). Move the dot there from an automatic algorithm to a manual one and may the force be with you...
