In this article you learn how to download and install the latest version of the 360 Total Security 2024 computer protection program. First download the latest full installation file of the program to your computer. Then you run the downloaded 360TS_Setup_Mini.exe file for installation. You need to select the license and terms of use via the checkboxes that appear in the first window then press Next. Afterward click the Install button to proceed. The installation steps complete automatically and when finished the interface appears on your screen showing you’re ready to use it.
Let’s talk a bit about using it—please read carefully!
The interface of Total Security divides into five main sections. The first section includes tools like Accelerate Virus Scan Cleanup and WiFi Security Check—all under the Full Control tab. To the right you see the Check Now button. Once clicked the program initiates the first scan automatically. While the scan progresses it detects and fixes startup items and junk files speeding up your computer. Then the program performs another scan and any detected viruses appear in the Cleanup Window. In the last step it assesses your WiFi security fixing any detected issues.
As you can see the program is user-friendly and simple to use. Let’s look closer at the Scan Window.
Virus scan options
In this window the program gives a brief overview of virus scanning’s importance. To skip this info click Skip in the lower right corner which leads to another window with scan options.
Quick virus scan
The quick scan checks the directory where Windows typically resides (usually C: drive) ensuring that harmful viruses affecting your computer are removed instantly. Since viruses tend to target this drive it’s best to start the scan here.
Full virus scan
This scan thoroughly inspects every hardware component in your computer. It detects and eliminates hidden viruses although a full scan can last between 1 to 4 hours depending on the file density. Running it frequently isn’t necessary. Following a full scan only the C: drive needs further scanning as other drives like D F or G generally stay virus-free.
Custom virus scan
Total Security also offers a Custom Virus Scan option. Here you select specific files to scan saving time. This feature also helps fix delayed startup issues though it’s unavailable in the trial version.
Additional features of total security
Besides scans Total Security provides additional features like File Analysis Quarantine and Safe List for enhanced cleaning.
File analysis
This section allows you to learn more about detected viruses. If a file seems harmless like a keygen you prevent its deletion by marking it safe. The Quarantine screen shows viruses awaiting deletion or restoration. The Safe List displays locations of scanned files; marking files as safe here prevents future scans speeding up the process.
Programme acceleration screen
This screen stops unnecessary programs from launching at startup like Java Update Scheduler and Google Update Task. Don’t worry—they’re not malware but just apps you don’t always need running. Simply hit the Optimization button to speed up your system.
Cleanup screen
The cleanup tool deletes junk files temporary files and unused system files freeing hard disk space. Start the scan by clicking Scan then review and delete unnecessary files to complete the cleanup.
Toolbox
The latest 360 Total Security version includes a Toolbox with three sections: Hotfix Sandbox Tool and System Backup Cleaner. At the bottom you’ll see a survey screen for feedback to enhance the program’s performance.
Also click Update for registry and security updates and you may adjust update folder locations in the advanced settings. You don’t need to configure the sandbox tool—the default settings ensure optimal performance.
Whether using an older or the latest 2024 version 360 Total Security offers simplicity and reliability. Don’t wait—get a license key to keep your computer protected. I’m confident you’ll be satisfied.
Uninstalling the program
Uninstalling is as easy as installing. Go to Control Panel find the 360 Total Security logo and click Uninstall. The process completes automatically.
