This may sound like just some stupid rant, but I am truly fed up now...
I always pay attention to what I install, opting out of installing junk as much as possible. There was no word about Secure Browser throughout, then all of a sudden it just popped out of nowhere on my my quick launch bar, also hijacking my default browser settings.
This ends here. I will not ever again give a chance to any Avast product, and will go out of my way to talk everyone out of using it. Will not renew any of our Avast subscriptions, and I will definitely dedicate efforts to actively educate clients, colleagues, friends, anyone, about why it is not a good idea for an internet security product to behave like spyware.
