Hello Andrew,
We're sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Firstly, please check if any AVG extensions are installed in your Google Chrome browser.
Secondly, does this happen in your Google Chrome browser alone or in all your other browsers as well?
Thirdly, did you set any particular website to be opened as the Home/Start page?
Awaiting your response.
This began at some point a few months ago, either while I still had an AVG subscription or after I didn't have one anymore. Normally, when I would open Google Chrome if there were no Google Chrome windows already open, one window would open and it would go to my default search engine. Now, and only if there are no windows already open, three windows open - the first one is an AVG Secure Search window and the second and third are Google. I went into my Settings in Google Chrome and reset my default search engine to my preferred default, and this did not resolve the issue. I asked AVG support and they were not able to do anything unless I had an active subscription, and directed me here.
Closing these extra windows and going to my preferred engine is becoming a multiple times daily hassle. What is causing this to happen?
