Not enough information

Two things really,

  1. Every time I open my browser, Avast pops up and says that I have a toolbar with a bad reputation (or something similar) The only thing it lets me do at that point is Repair… It doesn’t say what the problem is so i can decide if it really is a problem or not, or alert me as to a rogue toolbar. (I have no tool bars added which makes this a bigger mystery)
  2. It tells me that the UK dictionary is not trustworthy based on others, but gives me no way to vote or exempt it. I like this dictionary and have had zero trouble with it at all. I can’t find a better one, so I’d like to keep it.

Thoughts?

Personally I have never installed the Browser Cleanup as I don’t feel I have ever installed anything with a bad rep or untrustworthy as I check things out before they are installed.

I have an aversion of any sort of cleanup tool that doesn’t:
A. Give you full information on what it has found.
B. Gives you the option deselect anything it would take action on.

I used to use the UK Dictionary, I can’t recall when I dropped that (possibly unsupported after a certain versions of firefox).

There is nothing stopping you from keeping that dictionary add-on.
If avast flags it is having a bad reputation (which is build up on many things, not just a user rating), and you believe it is wrong, tell avast about it and they will have a look.
If needed / wanted, they will change things so the BCU will not alert for it anymore.

I just dismiss the complaint about the dictionary… but it doesn’t give me a way to report my displeasure… not one I can find at least
But the complaint about the “toolbar” is harder to get rid of and without nore poop, I do not know what to do about it… I tried clicking on “deal with it” but the very next time I open chrome -there it is again.
The “new” lay out is a bit too “easy to use” in that it gives no information and expects us to just “trust us”…
