How to disable AVG Security Toolbar

If you decide that you do not wish to use the AVG Security Toolbar, you can either skip its installation during the AVG installation process, or disable it manually in your Internet browser.
Note:
When you just disable the AVG Security Toolbar it will be automatically enabled again in one week by default. If you want to disable it permanently please right-click the AVG Security Toolbar and select the "Toolbar Options" from context menu. Click the "Advanced Options" tab and untick the "Re-display the AVG Security Toolbar when hidden (weekly)" option. Save the change by pressing the "OK" button. If you want to deactivate the AVG Security Toolbar just for one week you can skip this step.

Procedure of disabling differs based on used web browser:

1. Internet Explorer

• Use the mouse right-click in the space above the toolbar and check-off theAVG Security Toolbar option in the list.

2. Mozilla Firefox

• Tools menu -> Add-ons, find the AVG Security Toolbar here and click the Disable button.

Disabling or uninstalling the AVG Security Toolbar has no negative effect on the level of security provided by LinkScanner component. The only consequence of missing toolbar is an absence of some of the options, and less verbose information about the threats found by the LinkScanner component. The main settings of the LinkScanner component can be still configured in AVG User Interface.
