I am getting repeat offers to activate Avast Secure Browser, and when I say ‘no’ to the unwanted browser tap Avast is automatically creating to get my permission, the window loads a message to uninstall Avast Secure Browser (of course with no instructions!). When I follow the procedure given in their support online, I discover no such listing in Programs and Features. I only have Avast Antivirus installed. So:
How do I stop these persistent offers that open a browser tab (Firefox…which isn’t even my default browser!!) if there is no installation to uninstall?
However I don’t believe you actually have Avast Secure Browser (ASB) installed, but you are seeing a misleading advert for Avast Secure Browser.
I have never installed ASB and have never come across this notification on my Avast Free Installations.
You mention this is opening a Tab in Firefox, so I’m just wondering if this is more related to the avast Security Browser extension, which is completely different. but confusingly named.
Clutching at straws a bit here:
In Firefox extensions/add-ons, do you have that extension installed (it may well be disabled, resulting in this notice), if so you should be able to uninstall it ?
