Avast Browser: How to eliminate it?
« on: October 11, 2020, 04:57:21 AM »
I have this problem with Avast Secure Browser, long ago. It suddenly made everything slow, specially the internet pages, then I open the Administrator and I saw that avast was taking all the memory of the computer, so I followed some instructions to fix all avast by the configuration part in the app. I also unstilled the avast secure browser because it was a pain with facebook. So I open control panel / programs and uninstall the thing

the weird thing is that, when I opened the Administrator to see all the programs that works on second plane... there it was!!! Avast Secure Browser is still working...
How can I erase it  completelly from my lap????

(sorry, for my bad english)

Secure Browser Removal Tool https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe

Avast has offered a separate tool to totally remove the Secure Browser if the above instructions don't work.
You can find that tool here, https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=230288.msg1531315#msg1531315

Hi, see: https://support.avast.com/article/30


does not work, the avast utility to remove the browser only works to unistall the program... I all ready have unistalled, repair avast, and tha secure browser still works on second plane.... the thing is, can I erase the folders in c:/ that contains the program without killing my laptop?
It seems that, while the folders are still there, the browser too, and still working... even if it is unistalled

If it's still there, then how was it uninstalled? Did you install it to someplace other than the default installation folder?
