Yesterday I invited you to protect your Android smartphone with 360 Security, a free app offered by Chinese company Qihoo 360 Technology Co. Ltd. The app can protect against viruses, remove junk files, block calls, help you recover lost devices, and more.

Today I invite you to protect your Windows-powered machine with 360 Total Security, a free tool offered by the same company. 360 Total Security protects against viruses, helps your PC boot up faster, and removes junk files that needlessly take up space. A more detailed list of what 360 Total Security can do is available below.

I am sure it comes as no surprise when I tell you that there are lots of viruses out there, viruses that target Window-powered machines. I am also sure it comes as no surprise when it tell you that you need to use a security solution and keep your PC virus-free. This is where the 360 Total Security application comes in. Not only does it protect against viruses, it also cleans and optimizes Windows PCs.
