360 anti virus is a anti-virus that behaves as a bloat ware, its made from china and it is also a adware! when you uninstall it you will always get confused. Never just throw it in the rubbish bin in your computer and say: oh i deleted it! thats easy. no, 360 has MANY files to prevent that. to uninstall you must go to the control panel and manually uninstall it and its bloatwares. and manually uninstalling it is also complicated because they always make it complicated! it installed other adwares on my pc.

moral of the story: don't trust any anti virus software
really, i'd prefer to have a virus than have an antivirus eating my ram, heating my computer and selling me stuff

even if you do decide to use an anti-virus, i'd rather use virustotal than any antivirus i have to install on my system. because my experience with them is always terrible either they get false positives or they eat up all my ram and get false positives. hell one time i got an actual virus on my system because i confused it for secure ux themepatcher due to their similar names and it did nothing even tho it had real time protection i think.

The only good thing that microsoft has never done is creating windows defender.The only antivirus that actually does his job half way well.
Except when it keeps insisting on using one drive, that is its only problem

I've been living purely off of windows defender and common sense the last 6 years or so. Not regretting ditching anti-viruses at all.
