If you use Avast Antivirus or Internet Security, you will notice that the Avast Safezone browser gets automatically installed on your PC. Previously only the paid version came with this browser but now even the free version has it. However, most users prefer to use like Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge as their default browsers instead of SafeZone browser which is Chromium based. While there is no issues with it, if you still want to remove Avast SafeZone browser without uninstalling Avast Antivirus or Avast Internet Security, here are the steps to do it:



Remove Avast SafeZone browser from Windows

  2. Under Program >> Click “Uninstall a Program”
  3. If you are in “small icons” view, Select “Programs and Features”
  4. Now from the list of applications right click on Avast Antivirus or Avast Internet Security
  5. You will see options to “Uninstall/change/repair”
  6. Select “Change” and now you will see all the products installed by Avast on your PC

Many software companies want their users to have new features or to test the new programs they have just released. And to test it out, they add these miscellaneous programs to their main program installation. That is why, you should always be careful to uncheck or de-select any unwanted programs such as browser toolbar, search bars, system cleaners etc. during software installation.
