What is AVG Secure Browser?

AVG Secure Browser is a web browser that comes with AVG security software. It was designed by AVG with built-in security and privacy features to protect online users. This is no ordinary browser. This browser contains a set of tools and features such as Webcam Guard and Anti-Fingerprinting etc. For some users, the additional tools are very useful because they feel that these tools protect their privacy, identity and personal information. AVG Secure Browser allows you to import bookmarks and data from Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and invites you to use it as your default browser. However, some users do not want to use this browser as they think it is slow. The collection of tools is useful, but it slows down your browsing speed. They prefer their old browser with familiar features they had before. It is normal for users to have different opinions about the same program.

Usually AVG Safe Browser is included in AVG Antivirus packages. During installation of AVG software, it is checked whether the browser is installed by default. It can also be installed when you update your AVG software with the latest version. If you do not want it to be installed on your PC, you will need to manually uncheck the “Safe Browser” checkbox. If you like the browser, you can keep it for private browsing. Some users decide to uninstall AVG Safe Browser for certain reasons. Whether you like the browser or not, you certainly have the option to keep it or remove it.

Conclusion

Using the traditional method of Windows 10 applications and features or the control panel programs and features (Add/Remove Programs) often results in incomplete removal. If you are trying to uninstall AVG Secure Browser manually, but do not know how to start it or are experiencing difficulties, the best solution is to use the uninstall program to remove the program automatically. The uninstaller will try to take control of the uninstallation process and remove what is missing from the official uninstaller. It can clean the remaining registry entries and program drivers and correct installation/uninstallation errors for you. The uninstaller also provides customized troubleshooting solutions and on-demand remote assistance if users have difficulty uninstalling the software themselves. The uninstaller is better able to manage the uninstallation process and remove the residual files that the built-in Windows uninstaller always leaves behind. You should try it.
