I have a question about my Avast! Pro… It includes a browser cleanup option something I don’t really need as I hate with a surprising passion any and all toolbar’s in existence just because they exist and refuse to have any on my computer. Now the browser cleanup runs occasionally and finds nothing; but to complete it, it requires that I pick a new default search provider… OK fine… except the only options I get are Yahoo! and Bing neither of which I use since neither has ever actually manged to find a single useful search result the few times I’ve used them… thus I never actually ‘complete’ the browser cleanup since I prefer Google and don’t want to reset my search engine after Avast! changes it.
So here’s my question…Why is it only giving me the options of Bing or Yahoo! and not Google?
The Browser Cleanup question you ask Why is it only giving me the options of Bing or Yahoo! and not Google ?, is an acknowledged problem and is being worked on.
Hopefully, that will be resolved soon - but that doesn’t get away from the why is it a default option in the Tools section during installation.
Personally I don’t like opt-out choices - I much prefer opt-in and that is why I do a custom install and ensure what I want installed gets installed the others don’t.
