Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get rid of this browser.
I have tried uninstalling from the control panel and the downloaded uninstall link on the Avast website but nothing is working. They seem as if they want to start then a couple of hours later still it isn’t installed.
I have tried numerous times and restarted but still it is there and when it pops up on the screen I can’t make it disappear. It is driving me crazy and also It is messing my laptop up - I can’t now open my MS Office Outlook.
Thank you. I have tried those except that I didn’t want to go into Safe Mode. I couldn’t access any of the screens as shown in the screenshots.
When I try using the downloaded uninstall icon after the initial click no further window opens. When I try from Control Panel it seems as though it has started but nothing happens. If I click on it again - even an hour later a message box comes up saying that I must wait while the current programme is uninstalling or changing.
The only programme I’m trying to uninstall is the secure browser but even if I leave it for three hours, as I did yesterday, it brings up the same message and nothing visible happening.
Should I try to uninstall all Avast via the control panel? I had Avast Free Antivirus then upgraded to Premium but I don’t know which the browser is in.
I now have discovered that I have lost access to the complete MS Office suite which is worrying.
As I have already stated I have tried that numerous times and it won’t uninstall.
If you read my posts you will see that I have tried everything I can without success - which is why I’m seeking help.
