What's with the useless messages?

Every so often I started getting useless messages from Avast like

Your browser may pose a privacy risk
or
your browser uses an unreputable plugin

followed by a green Resolve button.

What are you going to resolve if I’m not even told about what the problem is. What represents a privacy risk, which one is the unreputable plugin.

They are useless messages that just tick me off every time I get them. Make them useful or stop bothering me with them or let me exclude the plugin in question if I don’t care what you think and want to keep it.

On a side note, what’s with the constant pushing of Chrome. I hate Chrome and will never install it. Stop asking already.

You can see in the log files what is detected.

The Resolve All button is pretty poor as it doesn’t accurately describe what will happen. I believe it should be ‘View/Show Details’ as that is what I believe it is actually doing if you click the Resolve All button.

No one wants to click a button like this blind without knowing the Action it will take and if they can selectively ignore/take action on individual issues. Who could blame anyone who doesn’t want to click this button.

Presumably you have the Browser Clean UP installed as I believe this is the source of the messages. I look after my own browser security/cleanup so I never install this avast component. So it doesn’t get scanned during a Smart Scan so no such messages.

I don’t like chrome either, but it is a rather rare occasion I see any push for chrome. I think that you get more of these in a period after installing avast. With over 400 million users, avast isn’t going to selectively stop pushing to individuals.
