How to turn off Rate Me on websites on internet explorer
« on: August 11, 2014, 05:24:54 PM »
How do you turn off Avasts rate me feature on internet explorer?  I'll be working and this pop up comes up on certain sites.. I cannot turn it off. I even turn Avast off and it still pops up.  When I print out something, this prints out as well, wasting paper.  It's quite annoying and I'm about to uninstall this.

Click on the green icon ( AOS ) Avast Online Protection in the top right corner of your browser and choose settings from the dropdown, untick the site checking boxes.

I think this is what your after :-\ I don't use the AOS plugin anymore so I'm unsure of any new features that might be included.

Nothing is checked under settings except Safezone, and I can't uncheck that.   What else can I do?

You can try removing the browser plugin - go to Programs and Features " remove programs " and click to uninstall avast, on the next screen choose change and you'll be presented with another screen where you can untick Browser Protection from the centre column ( everything in the centre column is optional and not needed ).
