Hi all,
My boss has the free version of Avast on his MacBook Pro, running macOS Big Sur. Today he showed me that something called Avast VPN is running on the laptop. This was nothing I installed, nor he, intentially, and the crazy thing is that there seems to be no way to permanently turn it off. When he disconnects, it stays that way for about one minute, only to reconnect. This happens even if we quit Avast and then deactivated the VPN in System Preferences.
His account has no subscriptions, so it shouldn't be the Avast Secure Line VPN (unless it got installed, and he's getting it for free). He already runs a VPN to connect to our corporate offices, so having a second VPN running is causing all sorts of competing problems when connecting.
How do I find it and turn it off? I didn't see anything in the Avast menu.
Thanks!!
Robert
