Why Does My Laptop Ask For A Vpn How To Uninstall It

I dont think I need it as I only ever use my home router or a Verizon Jetpack when Im on the road.

How do I get rid of it There doesnt seem to be an uninstall option anywhere.

Ive attached screenshots of the the two things that now show up on my laptop.

Just open the SecureLine application (window) and select Uninstall from the menu.

I discovered that you have to open the SecureLine application from the icon on your Launchpad.

Then you will get a drop down list with the uninstall option.

I am appalled that Avast, of all people, chose to foist unsolicited software onto its users.

Why Does My Laptop Ask For A Vpn How To Uninstall It

I do not want it, did not ask for it and just spent nearly half an hour trying to work out how to uninstall it and found this thread.

It is absolute, complete BS for a supposedly reputable company like Avast to install software without permission, and particularly software that requires payment.

I have had it with Avast - uninstalling all their software and this will definitely be my first and only post here.

You agreed that avast can install (additional) componentstools if they feel there is a need for it.

Some more information: Hi Eddy, While true the terms say this, I can verify that SecureLine does install without user interaction.

At least Avast makes it easy to remove, still it would be nice to have a way to opt-out of the install in the first place.

A more nicer way when installing opt-out products would be: - mention it during the installation - ask the people to give a try - tell them how they can remove it if they dont likewant it - have a option to give feedback on why they keep using itremoved it Good suggestion, I think a nice middle of the road approach that would make everyone comfortable, would be, like you suggested, to say, at the end of the installation: We have installed X for you to try because we think its a great product, if you dont want to use it you can completely remove it by (instructions).

Which is transparent and doesnt feel sneaky, at the same time it advertises the product.
