Regarding your request to come over your site, I’m sorry, it is not possible to have a technician to physically come to your location
It should not get installed automatically and we have also suggested to include an option “Don’t show this pop-up again” for AVG Secure Browser.
We appreciate your patience. A screen would appear after the update of AVG saying that “update has been completed”. It will have the checkbox to install AVG Secure browser and make it as a default one.If you haven’t noticed it and clicked on “continue” the browser will get installed. This is how the AVG Secure browser gets installed. In your case, it seems that it got installed automatically though you have unchecked the box. We sincerely apologize for that and to escalate this, please submit the request through this form.
Nice and useful discussion. I am a new user of AVG VPN. Once, I installed this VPN, the safe browser automatically installed in my system without my permission. Can anyone explain why this is happen? I read a complete guide about this VPN, but unable to find out any related thing in it.
When you get the installation window for AVG Secure VPN, did you notice any check box at the bottom of it?Our AVG Secure browser will get installed only when customer grants permission.If you have not noticed the check box and proceed with the installation, then you will get the AVG Secure browser will get installed as it will be checked by default.If you aren’t interested to use our browser, refer this article to uninstall it.Feel free to contact us if you need further help.
Thank you
In the future, we request you to check the update notifications you receive from AVG, if it includes an option to install AVG Secure Browser.
If yes, we request you to uncheck this option, so AVG Secure Browser will not get installed automatically on your computer.
Please do not worry as you have already submitted the feedback form, it will reach the concerned team and we will make sure to consider this future updates.
Lets just put this thing to rest, have a good look at this screenshot. it tells me AVG has been updated. so what is most users’ standard reaction to this. “oh ok, thanks, just close this BIG ASS of a notification so that I can get on with my business on my computer. so lets click on CONTINUE”. This is a cheap ass shot at users not paying attention to the eeny tweeny tick boxes giving permission to install your useless resource hog of a browser and hijack my default browser as well.
IT JUST UPDATED the software. for crying out loud. it is over and done with. why would I expect something else to be installed AFTER a frickin update. What happened to the days where AVG would just give a notification from the system tray that it is updated to the lates version? Why does this have to be in my face, why should I remove these tick boxes after every bloody update? It is already annoying having to remove these tick boxes during an install, you are like a bunch of hawkers ringing my bell every day begging me to buy their crap, but having to remove these boxes after sugardaddymeet every update is just ridiculous!
So don’t come at us with another lousy reply that people need to remove the tick boxes. Remove this option from your POST update information screen, users do not expect to install anything at this point. and you know this very well, they expect everything is done at this point and just click on continue to get rid of the humongous screen that could have just been a pop-up from the system tray. and you are taking advantage of this.
