How to remove avg safe search

I can't get rid of AVG safe search, I uninstalled avg and it always appears when I search from the navigation toolbar.

Hi, I was able to remove it but simply to remove AVG search engine to search "pre-selected". You can do this in the search box on the part superior RIGHT (see screenshot). Click on the logo of your default search engine and you will see the list of all available search engines. Simply remove AVG and you're done. Hope it helps

    I have tried many of the method suggested by the user, but AVG safe Search is not affected or goes away but keeps returning.

  • How to get rid of avg safe search for files (x 886) programs

    I completed the recommendations that a few people had to get rid of him. The only place I see it still is in the folder the file (x 886) programs. What watch is AVG safe search, then under this, 15.50 toolbar updater.

    Both will not be deleted. What can I do else?

    Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some preferences at each start of Firefox.

    The user.js file appears only if you or another software created, therefore, normally, he wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor if you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever you launch Firefox and initializes the preferences to the value specified in this file, so set of preferences via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    Start the computer in safe mode Windows with networking (press F8 at the startup screen) to see if allows to delete these files.

  • everytime I open a new tab, there are avg safe search

    Hey guys, so, recently, I opened firefox, open a new tab to display all my nail of the thumb, and instead, I just see AVG safe search. I hate it. I've tried everything. I tried to restart firefox, I deleted and uninstalled everything related to distance of AVG and I have no extensions of AVG, I deleted the AVG toolbar but safe search is still there! Help, please! I really want these vignettes of return! By the way, I have windows 8.1

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • AVG safe Search appears when I only use Google Search on my home page.

    My home page is the default page of Firefox with the Google search bar. I like occasional Firefox messages when I log so I don't want to change my homepage. However, when I use the search bar on my homepage only, I get the unsatisfactory results of AVG safe Search.

    UPDATE: I realize has now all the troubleshooting information that I included in my original question is displayed under the link "Details of the system more" beside the question, not in the body of the question. I copied here to make it easier to see what I've done to try to solve the problem, but also to describe one clue that I have that may be relevant:

    I tried all the fixes on different threads, but my point: config is now Virgin (no avg or isearch mentions; keyword.url is default). Closest solution for you is to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/866327 , which requires a change of my homepage.

    Curiously, AVG safe Search is not a problem when I use Google or search the site of Google toolbar when I use the search bar that appears on my home page (start). This is true even when I return to my home page - if I search from the Google search bar in the middle of the page, I am sent to AVG Safe Search. (isearch.avg.com).

    I read in a thread of a suggestion to delete my file chromeappsstore.sqlite in the folder of my profile. As promised, Firefox has created a new when I restarted however, the search bar in the middle of my home home page did not work at all. Tried this three times before restoring my original.

    I don't have an application that opens a sqlite file, but I tried to do in Excel and found a cell containing the following text:

    emoh.:moz - security aboutsearch engine {'Name': "AVG safe Search", "searchUrl" ': "http://isearch.avg.com/search?cid={7A3C25A0-E345-4507-AA31-D98F596A81A9}" & mid = c48135235ba247d18ac1d14b344db451-addd29eab2809954d5abdf0b991a5b911a297819 & ds = is015 & lang = en & v = 10.0.0.7 & pr = his = d & sap dsp = & q = _searchTerms_ "}

    I have no idea what this means, but it's the only thing I can find related to Firefox which mentions again AVG and isearch.avg.com.

    At this point, my best guess (but that's a guess) is that the chromeappsstore.sqlite file is a key for a complete solution, but I don't have enough knowledge to go beyond and address it. I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

    I think I solved the problem. As someone who has used occasionally used Access and other database applications, I had to first find a free app that would allow me to change chromeappsstore.sqlite. Then, I needed instructions on how change. I found the answers to these two questions to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/779082 . Thank you Dr. Watson; awaits my needs 10 months ago!

    I don't think I'd be able to formulate my questions clearly enough to find the solution without posting here first.

    For the people who try this solution do not know databases: make sure that you save a copy of the chromeappsstore.sqlite before trying this fix. You cannot save a copy under a different name of the sqlitebrowser application (or at least, I couldn't find a function "save under").

We found a few glitches in our internal tests and the developers are working on their rectification. A new update of the AVG program will be released soon support fully implemented.

  • Remove the grouped "AVG Safe Search.

    Yesterday I've updated for Adobe Flash 11 because I got a black screen problem in Firefox (but not IE) during playback of videos flash and pdf. After updating the browser restarted and suddenly, I had "AVG Safe Toolbar" - no where in the installation it asked me if we could install anything else, nor does he even warned me it would be. I tried to remove, but so far all I can only disable it. It does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs list, and even AVG removal tool would not work. Uninstalling Flash does not work, and I can't find its registry entries. These are all symptoms of malicious software, and it is not legal to Adobe to do that.

    How to remove (not just disable) this malware that Adobe put on my computer? I don't like what it is, if I consent to it being installed I have the right to say no to it.

    "I got the Vista taskbar notification that an update is ready.  I clicked to install.  I didn't opt-out for what it is. »

    Juliana,

    Read this slowly and carefully...

    You don't have the update from here. Adobe does bundle AVG anti-virus or AVG any product with its updates.

    You downloaded from a third party site, probably you are prompted and linked through adware.

    I am constantly uninstalling, reinstalling and updating test four machines all week day after long day-out and only ONE Bundle of software I have EVER seen (with XP, Vista SP2, SP1 WIn7 and WIn8) are:

    Google Chrome (with the Google toolbar)

    Norton Security scan

    McAffee security analysis

    Adobe Lightroom (30 days trial - Mac only)

    You can call me 'dead wrong' all you want but the REALITY is my source for the info I posted and it will prevail over ANY argument that you can do as you do not download the update with AVG inside of here! Updates to Flash Player don't popup in the taskbar. Notice of adware and malware on updates of the taskbar popup. You have been infected before you ever had this "update" and it's NOT for lack of Adobe.

    If EVER you doubt the authenticity of an update notice ALWAYS go for the software developer DIRECTLY update. You can check the updates through Flash Player global settings (a simple right click on ANY Flash content will get it there) under the Advanced tab IF you can't or won't, then you DESERVE everything you download without checking it first!
