If you use one, you can check if it offers that feature if not, follow the steps below. Other PC clean-up tools have the option to disable startup programs. I was still in safe mode when I completed these steps, but hopefully this helps anyone else that's having the same problem.If, for some reason, none of the methods above worked, you’ll see how to stop Avast browser from opening on startup by using a third-party tool called Advanced PC clean-up.Īdvanced PC clean-up has a free trial and premium version the free trial has the feature we’ll be working with. When I accessed the installation folder, I saw that there was an uninstall executable file. Instead, they were located in the 'AppData' folder associated with my wife's account. I was surprised to find that the Avast Secure Browser files were not located in the normal Avast installation directory. I rebooted in safe mode, ran the uninstaller as administrator, still didn't work.Īt this point, I was ready to just find the directory where the files were located and manually delete them. It removed the rest of Avast's antivirus software, but the Secure Browser was still installed. I was very hesitant to download another program to remove a program, but I did it anyways. Websites were stating to install Avast's uninstall program. When I searched online, I was surprised to find that this was a common problem. Boy, was I wrong.įirst, I attempted to uninstall with Microsoft's Add/Remove programs. Being an IT guy, I figured that this would be a quick fix. My wife told me that her laptop had Avast Secure Browser installed and she couldn't remove it.
