Title: additional SW installed with Test version Avast Premier? Gotomeeting WinRAR??
Post by: hano on April 15, 2019, 03:07:09 PM

Hi,
 installing the testversion of AVAST Premier I have new software in my software-list with the same installation-date.
Is avast-Premier combined with these two programs?
Can I deinstall them?
Thanks.

Hi,

Before you install further programs, you better install unchecky! --> https://unchecky.com/
It prevents installing adware.

That doesn't sound right. I've reported this to Avast so let's wait for their reply.

Hano,

Have you installed any other software recently besides Avast? Bob has reported to Avast to see if we can get a response but this isn’t the typical behavior we see

Cheers,
Mac

Thanks a lot to all.
It is really strange. I tried on my other Laptop (Vista 64)=>  no additional SW
The PC with the issue has WIN7 and I did not install SW the same day I installed AVast.
I think it happened by any chance that there is the same installationdate. May be via automatically update??. The "goto SW" could be from a Webinar I visited some days before
So I think everything ok, avast installation ok
tks
