How to Uninstall 360 Total Security on Windows 11

360 Total Security is an antivirus program. Although it has an excellent feature for protecting users from malware infection, users don’t want to use it. On the one hand, it’s known as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) since it is continually being installed on users' computers unexpectedly. On the other hand, some users have complained about the software's aggressive push for its premium features and its tendency to install additional components, like the 360 Browser, without explicit user consent.
