Browser repeatedly downloads same file.

Avast Secure Browser Avast Secure Browser for Windows

Every time I start SafeZone (1.48.2066.44) browser it downloads the same file and my Downloads folder is full of them - the same file with ever increasing numbers. I have used SafeZone’s “Clear Downloads” button several times but it has made no difference; the file just gets downloaded every time SafeZone starts. What can I do about it, does anybody know?

  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?

Is the browser started with some existing tabs? Some pages can trigger download.

What settings you have in Settings → On startup

Thanks

Thanks for your helpful answer, ondrejz.
Yes, I closed the offending tab and the problem has gone.
Cheers.
