Not something I can confirm. I've never had that happen. If it's on the taskbar it's there because it's still in use.
Unless you're using Windowsd 10 and have pinned the icon to the taskbar?
If that's the case, simply right click the browsers icon and select unpin.
I
can confirm. It's the reason I found this thread and it's the whole reason I created an account to post here. I have the latest version 92, and whether I use it or not, it pins itself to the taskbar.
"If it's on the taskbar it's there because it's still in use."
With all due politeness and respect, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. I haven't used it for days, then today I turned my computer on, and there was the icon, pinned to the damn taskbar
again.
"If that's the case, simply right click the browsers icon and select unpin."
Yeah,
duh. I have "simply" right-clicked the icon and selected unpin about a dozen times so far. It disappears, but a few days later, I see it has pinned itself to the taskbar again. How about Avast "simply" fixing it so it doesn't do this anymore? The
only official suggestion I can find on the Internet is "You can uninstall Secure Browser if you aren't interested in using it any longer". Again,
duh. I don't
want to uninstall it, which is why I'm searching for help to
fix it, but if this behavior continues and I get absolutely no help here (which appears to be the norm, judging by the history), I
will uninstall it, and I might even ditch Avast altogether and use a different antivirus. Yes, it's
that goddamn annoying!
