Don’t get suckered in by their reputation as a developer of security software, it makes them in no way qualified to provide their users with a piece of software that is at least as secure as the original. Some of those forks are created by a very small group of people (if not a developer) who can only be described as hacks, because they appear to have only a limited amount of knowledge about the application they are trying to fork. Security on the web is difficult enough already with a proper team of developers doing their very best to make and keep a browser secure.

I’m usually not the kind of person to shout in my posts or flood the reader with a series of exclamation marks, mostly because it’s impolite, but this deserves an exception. I can only advise anyone reading this to PLEASE IMMEDIATELY UNINSTALL ANY FORKED BROWSER VERSION BY ANTIVIRUS OR SECURITY COMPANIES!!! You just need to take a look at the whole Chromodo mess ( see progression here: ) to realize how amateurish these companies tend to work. God! First Avast that kept annoying me, that I should install the Chrome browser (I had a working version of Chromium already, ffs) and now they’re shipping their own with the anti-virus. You will receive a 'the product was updated successfully' message afterwards.Ī restart of the computer may be required to complete the process. Click on change afterwards to start the removal process. All components will be removed from the PC if they are installed.

Do the same for any of the other components that you may not require. Step 5: Locate SafeZone Browser and uncheck the box next to it. You find it listed next to update and repair. Step 4: On the page that opens, select change again. Alternatively, left-click on the Avast entry and pick change from the menu at the top.

Step 3: Right-click on Avast Free Antivirus (your version may have a different name), and select the change option from the context menu. Step 2: Select 'Control Panel Home', and on the screen that opens 'uninstall a program'. Step 1: Hit Windows-Pause to open the Control Panel of the operating system. If the web browser is already installed on the system, then you can remove it from the Windows PC in the following way:

While you are at it, uncheck any component that you don't require, e.g.

Locate the Avast SafeZone Browser entry and uncheck it.

The next page displays all the additional components that Avast will install on the computer.

You find it below the big orange install button on the page.

When the first setup page appears, hit the customize button right away.

To block the installation of the web browser while you are installing Avast Antivirus on a machine, do the following:
