SecureLine VPN is Avast's own VPN client and Avast Secure Browser is a secure, private internet browser powered by Avast. I am hugely grateful to Avast for the protection they have offered me, but from what I have seen and read of them today, they are employing tactics that I do not like! When it comes to performance, it seems Avast is part of the problem rather than being part of the solution. I also have Avast Behaviour Shield, but I gather that is part of the protection software. whether I would suffer any consequence from removing them whether I am getting any benefit from themĤ.
I also have "Avast Secureline VPN Service" (running a further 26 threads).ģ. What is it doing there? I looked up VPN.exe and found it was a Microsoft program - but am I mistaken in assuming that Avast has replaced it with their own? I certainly know from the advertising stream that Avast is pushing VPN, but I already have NordVPN, so I don't need another. I went back to Resource Monitor to see what else I could find, and one of the programs taking resource was "VPN.exe" - and the description is "Avast Secureline VPN" (running 40 threads). If ever I am asked by somebody for a recommendation, that will certainly figure in what I tell that person. I really don't like this mode of operation of the company. What really bothers me about it is that it was put there without my knowledge or permission - very much in the same way that malware gets onto people's PCs. I de-installed it, and I have a little more available memory now, and a few more CPU cycles. I did not know I had it, but I thought it was, perhaps, a part of the Avast security software, but a bit of Internet research told me that it is a stand-alone program using resources and slowing down my PC. Quite high on the list, I found "Avast Secure Browser". I have been having performance issues, so I looked in Resource Manager in the hopes of finding what was causing them.

Also, I run a single device (laptop PC - no phone or other), so I didn't get much advantage from the subscription service. A couple of years back, I paid the subscription for a year, believing that the adverts would stop, but they didn't, so I ended the subscription.

Solved! Is avast good as an antivirus and/or anti malware for Apple Mac computers? Solved! Is Avast/antivirus really needed on Windows? Solved! I do not want Avast in my laptop, it keeps reinstalling, when using Revo uninstaller. Solved! Possible virus/ can’t get avast to work in safe mode **SOLVED** Avast is impossible to uninstall! **SOLVED** Solved! I can't get rid of the Avast popup trying to sell me upgrades I highly recommend the use of Avira free antivirus and Malwarebytes paid version, which is only about fifteen bucks for a lifetime license, used together. It nearly always picks up things missed by the other scanners.

Always keep definitions up to date and when in doubt, use a "second opinion" scanner like Hitman Pro, which you can download for free. Rootkits, adware and other undesirable infections may or may not be detected depending on what scanning utility you use. Virus scanners generally don't detect viruses and Malware scanners usually won't find traditional "viruses". Rootkits, Malware and Viruses are generally all mutually exclusive, being entirely different types of infections. In addition, it's a good idea to enable the Rootkit scanning option in Malwarebytes or use their free Rootkit scan tool from their website.

You should also occasionally do a full system scan as sometimes the RT protection misses something. You should have a reputable virus scanner with up to date definitions and a good Malware scanner like Malwarebytes, both running real time protection. Yes, in fact, that's the way it SHOULD be done.
