360 Total Security step-by-step removal guide
Comments
Actually worked for me. Not a single sign of 360 in my machine, anywhere.
Can I use the same steps described in "Uninstalling from Windows 7" to remove from Windows Vista ?
Hello, try to use Revo uninstaller
same here T^t
I've installed 360 security reasontly. First on my smartphone then on my PC. Then I read 'somewhere' that it was problematic and removed it from my phone.
Now I'm going through reviews to find out what other people say. I read your reviews and checked it out on my own PC and it 'is' listed in progams and functions in control panel and it does offer to remove the program!
Since I have'nt tried to remove it for real, I can't tell you how it ends but can warmly recommend 'RegAlyzer' by SpyBot-S&D to remove traces in the 'registry'! Good Luck!
