I have just updated my Avast Antivirus and was unpleasantly surprised that the Avast Browser had reappeared some years after I had previously disabled it. The following are faults that I normally associate with malware.
[ol]- I was not asked if I wanted the browser, I thought I was just doing a normal update of the engine
- It was made my default browser without asking
- When I rebooted it started without asking, having set itself to auto start
- Uninstall did not work because Avast forgot to include the uninstalller program[/ol]
Fortunately your website provided a standalone uninstaller which did the trick.
I have used and recommended Avast Antivirus for many years. This was really disappointing.
