i disabled the security center  "Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI_cw5n1h2txyewy"
completely and tried it again but still no plugin
so its not the windows defender stuff



i had only download helper installed in firefox
no difference without that



You do realise that if you install Avast, the browser protection notification to install the extension are delayed for 12 hours.

If you've rejected the notification in the past, it won't show up.

which notification u mean ?

i installed avast and selected the plugin in the options during install
after that it looked like the screenshot bob postet

You know in the browser (let's say Chrome), you get a notification to enable an extension in the top right corner when it is installed.

What I'm saying is, if you've done a clean install of Avast, that notification to enable Avast Online Security is delayed for 12 hours after installation. That is the case even if you have selected the browser security component in Avast.

If it hasn't come after 12 hours of installing Avast, there's a problem.

Why would the update remove it on your system and not mine ???
You also don't see other complaining about the windows update doing it to their computers.
I think you're barking up the wrong tree and should be looking at something other than the Windows update.
