Don't install this
« on: January 01, 2021, 03:39:33 PM »
I don't want this, I don't need this. I never asked for this, I never gave permission to install this on my computer.

How do I STOP this from ever installing itself?

Well I never asked for it and I never got it, until I actually physically downloaded it for testing and uninstalled it after testing.  I have Firefox as my default browser and even when Avast Secure Browser (ASB) it never impacted on my Firefox installation.

The Avast Secure Browser is a stand alone product and you would have had to downloaded or accepted (in some way) it as a trial for it to have been installed.

That aside, ASB can be removed in the same way as other programs from the windows control panel add remove programs.
