Freeware Tools: Avast Browser Cleanup 10.2.2

Avast Browser Cleanup provides the essential security you need to protect yourself from unwanted add-ons by removing annoying extensions, potentially harmful toolbars and hijacked search settings, leaving you with only the harmless and non-intrusive add-ons you want. It offers support for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Toolbars and search resets are not only annoying, they're potentially dangerous. They often get added when installing an otherwise legitimate program, without you even noticing. Avast Browser Cleanup rids these items.

After a fast setup operation that requires minimal user intervention, you are welcomed by an attractive interface, represented by a flat-looking window split into multiple panes, where you can tinker with program settings as well as IE, Firefox and Chrome options separately.

The utility comes bundled with its own rating system to determine the safety level of installed add-ons and toolbars which you can remove. However, this doesn't mean that you cannot disable any such third-party components, whether they can be trusted or not.

Apart from the removal option that proceeds with uninstalling the target component, Avast Browser Cleanup also has an ignore feature which basically hides any components from the list you deem as trustworthy and decide to keep.

Furthermore, you can restore a specific search provider and homepage to IE, Chrome or Firefox, ask the application to automatically exclude add-ons with a good rating, stop it from regularly checking browsers for toolbars with a bad user rating, as well as select another UI language.

Avast Browser Cleanup offers a simple and effective means of removing unwanted toolbars and add-ons from IE, Chrome and Firefox, and it can be seamlessly handled by anyone.
