This isn’t the expected behavior
By default, secure browser will be checked when you startup the installation of AVG Internet Security.If you do not check the box for secure browser, it will not get installed.To know more about AVG Secure Browser, refer this (FAQ).Thanks.
The forced install has already pissed me off, but to make things worse, you added the secure browser to my startup, so everytime I start Windows the browser launches. who in his right state of mind adds a browser to his startup. not everyone climbs on the internet the moment they start their PC and anyway, I have zero day-to-day applications in my startup, if I want to use an application I will launch it myself, I don’t want to feel forced to use your cheap Chrome clone.
because they have cookies on their computer. really. A decade or so ago, this was clear cut spyware techniques, false reporting to entice people to buy their product and forced install of bloatware. crap you did not ask for and crap you do not need. It is a disgrace that AVG has resorted to old spyware and adware tricks over the years. You are supposed to rid people’s computers from crap like this, yet you end up doing the same thing.
One last thing, AVG has always been the pinnacle of performance when compared to other anti-virus programs like Norton and McAfee, but these days AVG is one huge resource hog, it takes ages for my computer to start up since installing AVG (and I have an i7, so not some cheap celeron processor), which tempts me sometimes to just uninstall it completely and run my pc without anti-virus, it is not that hard to be virus free if you are a careful and responsible PC user.
AVG’s behaviour has become more questionable over the years, tricking people into upgrading to the Internet Security package, under the false pretention that their privacy is compromised
I’ve been a loyal AVG supporter over the years, promotes it on my website, but I am more inclined to sell Avast to my clients. Really hoped Avast would have sorted this out after buying AVG, but it seems as if Avast is also pulling the same questionable tricks and gimmicks. It is really a shame. Shame on you! You were once the example of what an Internet Security company should be. now I am no longer too sure that your intentions are purely honorable.

While installing AVG Internet Security you will find a check box to install AVG Secure browser. If you have forgot to uncheck the box, AVG Secure browser will automatically get installed in your computer.
AVG Secure browser is a legitimate add-on which is available with AVG protection program (which can be excluded while installing AVG http://www.hookupdate.net/pl/sugardaddyforme-recenzja protection).
If this isn’t the case, we suggest you to submit a feedback to notify this to the concerned team. (Open AVG – Menu – About – Submit feedback)
I just spent an more than two hours fixing my computer because of the MALWARE that you intalled on it. I call it MALWARE because if I have to go through this much work to get my defaults and workflow back, then how is it any different from running into some other type of attack?
