Avast is also finding the DPservice toolbar on my computer too. Just like jwpetr when every I click to remove it Avast says it's gone but when I refresh it's back. Other antivirus software like malwarebytes don't find it.

I tried restoring my computer to factory settings, but when I download and run avast again, DPService is back.

Does anyone know what the dpservice toolbar is and what it does?
What else could we try?

We believe it is a F/P on the services and files essexboy mentioned above. Ignore it meanwhile. I reported it to mods, see if they can find anything.

dpservice doesn't appear to be an actual toolbar.There's no actual toolbar in internet explorer. It doesn't show up in internet explorer addons either.

Hello

I have this problem too. When I try to remove DPservice, avast immediately crashes.

I am getting a hit on DPService also and sometimes Avast crashes when trying to completely remove it!
Sometimes it runs OK and says "all clean"
DPService Toolbar Protector..  still comes up on the next browser scan.
I do not see any toolbars.

Hi everyone!

I have the exact same issue going on!

I have a Lenovo yoga pro 2. I reverted my system to factory default settings. After I did this, avast still found the same thing everyone is trying to get rid of. I find it slightly interesting/disturbing that this issue persisted after the system recovery was completed.

I think the term toolbar protector is strange...

Anyway I hope we find a resolution!

Obviously a F/P.

Avast just fixed RelevantKnowledge: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=171010.0

Hopefully they will work on DPService now since this topic has been reported already.
