OK, tried to uninstall Avast with the utility I downloaded, and was in safe mode as directed, but the avastclear wouldn’t execute, even when I tried run as administrator. After I got out of safe mode, I noticed a shortcut had been placed on my desktop for SafeZone browser, which now opens, but I don’t have password functionality like I had before. If I click on the password key in the upper right corner, I get a message that the extension is not activated, though when I go back to components under settings, Passwords shows under the Privacy settings under Components under Settings with the green button on. I’ve contacted Avast two days ago about the issues I’m having, but they still haven’t replied even though I’m a paying customer. Pretty sad, and I may look for a whole new AV provider real soon.
