I wonder what will happen is IE is not started in protected mode with WebRep enabled.

As far as I'm aware it would work, based on previous instances on earlier versions of avast, but it was more the SmartScreen that was the fly in the ointment.

I thought avast had stopped installing the AOS add-on (not WebRep) for IE11 because of SmartScreen  and Protected Mode.

Reply #12 indicates he is running IE in protected mode.

I know that, which is why I mentioned the AOS add-on as a possible conflict, as previously the same issues were found when the SmartSceeen was also enabled.

I still don't know how the AOS got installed on IE11, unless it remained from an earlier installation of avast. If a clean install of avast 17.4.2294 were made I don't know if avast would install the AOS on IE11.

It is a bit of a moot point as the OP has made his choice as to what to disable/remove, his system, his choice.

IE11 protect mode is still enable....all I did was uninstall Avast Security Browser extension and Safe price browser extension. These were the add on from Avast.

This morning when I first turn on this pc, click on IE icon on bottom of taskbar.....bam...yahoo.com came on in less than 3 seconds.

Yes, it is almost an either or situation, but if you have Protection mode or possibly SmartScreen, then the chances are you are going to experience some conflicts with the AOS add-on. The choice on which you disable is entirely yours.
