Avast (Free) has installed his certificates on my Firefox Nightly install
« on: May 25, 2019, 11:42:35 AM »
I have noticed that Nightly says that "is being managed by my company". I looked what was wrong, and I see that Avast installed a certificate with value "Install" called "wscert.der" at "C:\\ProgramData\\AVAST Software\\Avast\\wscert.der". I want to know what it is doing to my browser since I got absolutely no warning about it being installed. Also, I want to know how to remove it. Thanks for your help.

Ok, as someone said in their post in that thread I removed the registry key associated with it. It worked for now. Thanks for linking it, but it case it reappears many times I may post about this again. Good day.
