Uninstall Avast engine of research?

I installed Avast Antivirus some time ago, stopped using it, then uninstalled, but I find few remnants of it here and there (I don't know which is bad, but it's boring), and I just found in my search bar there is a search engine 'Google (Avast)', so I go into the search parameters and remove it , but worried he might still be installed somewhere. I am unable to find it anywhere, then someone can advise on this?

Firefox detects search plugins in two different places. We're in your personal settings, and we're in the Firefox program folder. There could still be a third location (shared settings folder) but I have not seen before.

To check your personal settings folder:

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various folders and files.

Look for a folder named searchplugins and click inside to see if you find that anything unwanted.

Keep this window open for the next step...

To verify the folder Firefox program:

Since you have a 64-bit version of Windows, go to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\

Click on browser then searchplugins to verify whatever it is unwanted here.

OK?

You can check for all avast! modules modules on the page. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

Switch categories by using the left column. The key is Extensions, but you can also see Plugins.

  • Given that I uninstalled avast! antivirus and installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 Thunderbird asked to accept an invalid certificate or not.

    Given that I uninstalled avast! antivirus and installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 Thunderbird application if you want to accept an invalid certificate when you try to receive new messages.

    Please take a look at the two attachments (it seems to be a problem with the download of jpg files).

    Obviously Bitdefender manipulates the certificate (no doubt to be able to scan the e-mails via an SSL connection). But I'm not sure.

    Would you recommend to confirm an exception for this certificate (permanently)?

    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings

    Marco

    Thank you, christ1.

    I discovered that after disabling SSL scanning in Bitdefender, this problem no longer exists.

    Maybe this can be seen as a confirmation that the certificate belongs in reality to Bitdefender. Because it is my concern, that is the validation of this certificate to make sure that Bitdefender is the transmitter.

  • 8.1 Windows pc does not start after you uninstall Avast

    8.1 Windows pc with a 120 GB SSD primary and secondary 1 TB HHD.

    I decided to uninstall Avast, that we have a spare license on pay an anti virus package. The pc has been verified to ensure that all updates have been made and the pilots were up-to-date with a reboot after each. But after uninstalling Avast and restart I noticed the message Preparation AutoFix, which was not successful.  After which she was trying to diagnose. I tried to update, but it says there was a problem with refresh. Has been no change. he says there is no system restore points. Startup Repair couldn't fix it PC and gave the location of the log file that I opened via the command prompt. That indicates the number of causes deep = 1. All tests show results completed successfully and the error code = 0x0, except one, which is

    Name: Test of the registry hives
    Result: Completed successfully. Error code = 0 x 0
    Time taken = 859ms
    Root cause found:
    ---------
    Registry is corrupt
    Repair action: roll back register
    Result: failed. Error code = 0 x 2
    taking time = 0ms

    Now I don't know what to do! BUT before you do anything I want to look at and could ask for advice on this, the SSD 120 that Windows is on is almost full. I consider getting a greater capacity, especially if it is perhaps a better workaround. So can someone advise... Should I try and get somehow the problem resolved with the existing SSD, or will I get a new SSD and install Windows 8 on that and then try and extract what I maybe need off the old SSD? I would add that I have an installation disc of Windows 8 and then put far to 8,1 win via a download.

    I would add also... I'm not an expert with these things should easy understand so help!

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for getting back to me. My questions are exactly the same as the original thread. After unistalling avast my 8.1 win goes into a loop of repair, no access to the office, safe mode, refresh does not work.  tried everything etcetcetcetc original thread and more. Consider no solution found.

  • How to pass the bar of search engine in the old design, where I could spend the engine of research instead of having to click on the

    Hello, unfortunately, I have updated to Firefox 50.0 without realizing a lot of my modules and apparently my search bar would be altered... The modules except for (what seems to be "they are not signed" that I hope will be fixed at some point by itself), the search bar, it's really what grinds my gears.

    I think I've had this problem before and after weeks of trying, I could fix it, but for the life of me I don't know what to look for to fix, or what I did.

    My problem is that I have several search engines, and I often STAY on a SEO and looking for several things. I used to be able to click on the button to default search engine (which is now a magnifying glass) and select the search engine, I want to use AND CONTINUE to USE it until I CHANGE IT to SOMETHING else.

    The path before the update was so: click on the magnifying glass symbol / google-> select a search engine, for example Wikipedia-> enter something I want to search-> it shows results on wikipedia-> do not click on anything whatsoever, but rather just enter something into the search again-> it searches on wikipedia.

    Now, it's this... Click the magnifying glass-> click on wikipedia-> enter something-> it searches on google-> realize you must click on the wikipedia button AFTER entering in the things-> click button wiki now-> it research wiki-> enter something new-> it goes to google. -> get really angry and slam your head against the table-> click the wikipedia-> realize I clicked the wrong language wiki, since I have 4 of them right next to each other-> hit enter once again-> it goes to google-> quit smoking.

    So yes... is there a way the helm of research back to the old design, where there was a LIST of engines of research instead of buttons, and she kept the search engine locked up until you have selected something again.

  • How to add another engine of research (not Google) to Thunderbird?

    I would like to add an another search engine of Thunderbird. (Ixquick) In the solutions, I find a way to add Google, but I would add another search engine. I tried to add DuckDuck (.xml file) in a new map (searchplugins) in/Thunderbird Profiles, but it does not work. (OS X).
    I guess a new .xml file is needed?
    Is this new file Searchplugin in profiles of the right solution?

    Thank you

    research is an implementation of "open search" where the search provider is defined by an XML file that is specific to the provider. Ixquick watching they sure don't make it easy. I had to use it kludgy interface to add to Firefox, open the searchplugins folder in my firefox profile, copy the file to ixquick - ttps.xlm to the same location in Thunderbird to do in there. Why might the right word allowed me to download the XML file to opensearch.

  • Uninstall avast, but still blocked Web sites

    Hello, I'm new to the forum and hope someone can help out me.

    So I had installed Avast antivirus free (2015) on my macbook (2014, with OS X Yosemite) and it has messed up my computer. He made sure that several of my sites that I often browse have been blocked, so I deleted the application using AppCleaner and manually deleted a load of documents and parcels connected to my computer avast. In hindsight I probably should have made use of uninstall, but I only discovered it was an uninstall program after I deleted the application. Now even more sites in my browser are blocked and are not accessible in some way. I looked in my system to see if there was still avast documents, but I can't find, and I am at a loss. Fortunately, I have an ipad, so I can make up with her, but it's a nuisance.

    I tried many things to get my browsers working again: reinstall the app, so I can uninstall it correctly (does not allow me to install, because it cannot establish a connection with the server), rummage through my files (library/launchdaemon, library/applications etc.) for the rest of the files to delete, turn on/off my firewall and turn my computer avast.

    For reference, this problem applies to all my browsers: chrome, firefox, and safari. I also can't access the appstore more. Also for the context as to why I even installed avast in the first place: some adware had managed to infect my computer (perfetnight) and play ads very hard on my speakers. I managed to get rid of the malware initial (I hope), but now Avast haunts my computer with a vengeance! someone knows how to fix this?

    From your description, it seems that the malware still exists. It is probably a version of wicked VSearch. Check the instructions of Linc Davis in this topic: Virus/Spyware/Macbook Adware
