The users who have already been infected can also use 360 Total Security to get rid of the virus from the computers.

Reminder
We recommend our users that do not download and use the game plugin easily. Besides, do not turn off the anti-virus software when downloading the plug-in. When the plug-in software asks the users to exit the anti-virus software, they are likely to attack users’ computers. What is more, if the computer is running slow and laggy, please use 360 Total Security to do “Full Check” and kill the malware as soon as possible.
