There is no need to shout.
Just asking in a normal way would do on this webboard.

It happened with your permission.
You installed avast and by doing so, you agreed to the eula/terms.

You can add/remove avast components through the control panel > software > avast > change

I'm angry about this thing too!

How can I uninstall it on "Windows 7"?
Control Panel- Programs-Programs & Features- appear only Avast Antivirus..

So how can I uninstall your browser without uninstalling your antivirus?

P.S.:This kind of aggressive promotion make people just angry, because this browser wasn't their choice. Think about other kind of campaign for your promotion!

And I spend too much time to write this message (registration process), are you afraid about customer reviews?

I already told you how/where you can install/remove components.

Read the eula/terms. avast has the right to make changes to their products.

It has nothing to do with promotion and yes it was the users choice. The users want to keep their system(s) secure and this is just a part of it.

No-one forced you to install it.
You could have done a custom installation.
And as I said, you can add/remove components you want/don't want.

Apart from that, the update also changed my free version to a non-free version trial.  >:(
I don't need any of the extra fluff that the paid version provides. I wouldn't use it even if it was free.

Wrong, it was with your permission as has been explained many times on this webboard.

That didn't happened. It is still the free version but with "examples" of paid components.

you know what the funny thing is? even though some people are claiming it was installed without their consent.

I'm one of the people who UNCHECKED the box cause I typically do custom installs. ANDDDDDDDDDDDDD *drumroll please* this browser still managed to get installed onto my computer.

What annoys me the most is how it hijacks all my pdf files and uses this browser as default application.

Sorry but that is just ridiculous.

For added Information, Users can install or uninstall any component of Avast using the "Custom Install" Option (Which should always be chosen when installing software! )
OR
Users can Modify or Reset there installation following these "well laid out" directions. :)

Change, add, or remove individual program components

Hi,

We are sorry about your problems.

I tested your scenario with unchecked SafeZone browser feature. And the result was the SafeZone browser IS NOT installed. So I would be glad if you can share your setup.log file from Persistent Data folder (Program Data\Avast).

btw. If you have set the browser as default, the browser will open also PDFs. You can change this in your OS settings. This is currently feature of the browser. I understand that some people do not like it. We will definitely investigate it in further releases.

Thanks

I had the same issue, this program installed itself, put a shortcut on my desktop.  I have no use for it.  So the question is why did this happen and will it be resolved for Avast Free users?

<snip quote>

This one isn't a stand alone installation, it is an integral function/feature of avast - Control Panel > Programs & Features > Avast Antivirus > Change - from the new window select Modify > uncheck the SafeZone Browser option.
