I updated my copy via a programme update
Without my knowledge AVG secure search was installed
This changed my Home page
Replaced Google with AVG as my search engine
Disabled Webshield
And whilst it was set I was unable to visit the forum (coincidence ???)
All this after I uninstalled it
Out came my trusty OTL to remove the rest of the rubbish
Methinks I will cease using DriverMax
Now I know what caused my search provider to change…
I happen to own the pro version but it wasn’t installed on that partition.
I’d call that dirty pool. >:(
In my case when I very briefly installed it recently when you recommended it, I luckily did manage to see the prompt for the optional AVG Secure Search. It didn’t appear to change any Settings on my computer.
I did find 2 AVG Resgistry Entries recently with either JetClean or Glary Utilities, but I’m virtually certain those were no doubt left over from the previous owner of this computer. She used to have AVG in it when she gave it to me 2 or so years ago.
