How to remove Avast SafeZone Browser without uninstalling the antivirus: the simplest methods

Need I say that recently during the installation of some software products, attempts were made to covertly install some add-ons that the user absolutely does not need? Unfortunately, even anti-virus developers Avast are engaged in such things, offering their browser for the Internet. And the user then starts to puzzle over how to remove Avast SafeZone Browser. But many people want to leave an active antivirus. How do I proceed?

Avast SafeZone Browser: what is it and how does the installation work?

Based on the name of the add-on, it is not hard to guess that this is the most common browser for surfing the Internet, and absolutely unremarkable.

Although it is believed that by using its own DNS server, security on entering the Internet increases, it itself is slow enough, and to get normal access to some resources, the page has to be updated several times.

The installation offer was noticed when the Avast antivirus Pro and Internet Security were installed or being prepared for installation. In the installed antivirus, the browser is installed when updating the components of the package, and when installing, a sentence like "Do not you mind Avast SafeZone Browser?" Follows.

But that's interesting: there are "yes" and "no" answers as answers. Immediately it is unclear what is meant: do not mind-yes, or not-no? How to interpret the answers? The impression is that with any response the installation will take place (which actually happens).

How to uninstall Avast SafeZone Browser in a standard way?

To get rid of this compulsive supplement at first seems impossible. Neither in the standard section of programs and components of Windows, nor in the application manager of specialized utility optimizers among the installed applications, the browser does not.

How to remove Avast SafeZone Browser in this situation? It is necessary to address to removal of an antivirus! Many users do not want to uninstall it completely. This is not necessary.

First, in the installed programs section, select the removal of the main anti-virus package, for example, Avast Internet Security. First, not the standard Windows uninstaller works, but its own antivirus package. In the appeared window, instead of deleting, we use the modification button, after which a window appears with a list of the components that you want to install.

Among them is Avast SafeZone Browser. How to disable it? Yes, just remove the tick from the line with its name. Many experts advise not to stop at this, but to deactivate Secure DNS (as mentioned above).

After that, it remains to press the orange change button from the bottom, and then perform a full reboot of the computer for the changes to take effect.

Third-party utilities

If someone does not like the standard tools of the system, you can use powerful utilities like iObit Uninstaller, which work more efficiently and do not leave after removing computer debris programs in the form of residual files and folders, and completely delete all the keys in the system registry.

The iObit Uninstaller application may also not recognize the installed browser. You can try to remove it using the standard method through modification of the antivirus. But you can enter the search element in the search field and see that the program will respond to the request.

In any case, after the standard removal, you need to select all residual elements and use the deletion of files in the row below. If this method does not work, the Forced Unistall function will be useful. At the same time, you can delete all additional panels, which you do not even know about installing.

The result

Actually, here you can finish the question of how to remove Avast SafeZone Browser. Finally it remains to give a little advice to those users who are going to install anti-virus packages from Avast. In the installer, pay attention to the suggestions for installing additional components (sometimes they can be written in small print), and also remove the tick marks from all add-ons. And if you really want to test the browser, remember that despite all the developers' claims, it has a very strong vulnerability in the security system (tests confirm this).
