Hey, that's a cool trick Avast, asking permission to use the webcam and telling me its vulnerable. It asked me to allow the program to access the camera and after I did, it told me this is what a hacker can see.

Once, I got a pop-up from Avast Free Antivirus telling me that my webcam could be at risk. A "Start your free trial" pop-up also appears, giving you an option to try the premium features for free.

It shows some information such as your IP address and your location, and recommends using Avast's VPN to protect your personal information. But clicking that displays a pop-up with privacy risks.

The method is used by scareware applications to get users to pay for software to fix issues but it is not as bad as those as Avast does not display fake or useless findings to get users to pay for an upgrade. You are asked to buy a commercial version of Avast software to fix these issues on your device.

The website of the product highlights a 7-day free trial but there are only paid options available. Unless I'm mistaken, SecureLine VPN does not support a free tier.

Of these, only SecureLine VPN can be used for free and it installs the company's VPN client. Privacy and Performanceīoth these tabs are completely unnecessary for the program to work. This is where the good stuff basically ends. You can delete detected items or exclude them from being flagged again. This is the quarantine in Avast Free Antivirus. Use the Avast Free Antivirus settings menu to customize how the shields work.

The custom scan has 2 predefined options: a quick scan and smart scan.

You may also want to look in the browser settings for "continue running background apps when Avast Secure Browser is closed" and unselect that if you wish.You can run a full virus scan, a targeted scan (only scans selected folders/drives), boot time scan and custom scans. You can also click in the settings menu and a video icon will appear at the top, you can right-click that and select "show in toolbar." Otherwise, you can try an uninstall and reinstall to resolve the issue. I'm not aware of any known issues with Video Downloader at this time and it appears to be working fine :) It's possible that the icon was hidden, and restoring to default settings would bring it back. If you've already done this, you may need to run the AvastClear utility - that's not usually needed, but in cases where a previous uninstallation failed, it can help to resolve issues like this. In this case, you can try uninstalling Avast completely via the Control Panel. u/k0rp5e, it sounds like perhaps there might be an issue with the installation in this case, and potentially the previous installation of Avast (which is now removed) is related.
