Even though I disabled the Avast Secure browser from startup, it keeps popping up all the time I restart my computer. Having said that when the Secure Browser process is running, I am not able to Shutdown/Restart my system. It will be stuck at the Shutting Down screen. I will have to do a hard power off >:( . I am also not able to end the process from task manager and multiple process for the browser are also running.
OS : Windows 7

Maybe it’s time for a clean install of the Secure Browser
Download the installer from here, https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser
Download the Secure Browser Removal tool from here, https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe
Save your Bookmarks via the Book Marks Manager if you have custom bookmarks so you can import them when you re-install.
