Why warning about google search engine?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

I keep getting warning about google search engine having a low user rating ? When I click on details I get nothing about why google search engine is considered bad. If you are going to give me a warning like that you need to explain, some way some how. I know some people don’t like google, but I like them better than yahoo or bing! Also if you don’t like google, why do you want me to download and install the Chrome browser that uses the google search engine?

Could you post a screenshot of the warning…!?

Hi lost_cowboy,

Could you please attach the files

c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\Avast-Browser-Cleanup-silent.log
and
c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\Avast-Browser-Cleanup.log

Also, this is a bug we had and fixed around one year ago. Could you please confirm that you are running the latest version?

Thanks!

I’m not the original post, but am being really bugged by these warnings about Google search engine. It popped up again today.

In C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log,

I see four files. Here they are with last date modified:

Avast-Browser-Cleanup.log 8 April 2016
Avast-Browser-Cleanup-silent.log 27 November 2016 (today)
Avast-Browser-Cleanup-silent.old.log 19 November 2016
Avast-Browser-Cleanup-trace.log 8 April 2016

I can attach or send to you, if you are still listening, Moroni of the Avast Team.

You haven’t provided what is perhaps the most useful information.
What version of the BCU are you using ?
