Security company AVAST Software came up with this free tool to help all Windows users out there keep a tidy, clean browser. You can use avast! Browser Cleanup to perform the following tasks: reset your browser to its default settings; remove unwanted toolbars, add-ons, or plug-ins. avast! Browser Cleanup works with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla’s Firefox, and Google’s Chrome.

avast! Browser Cleanup does not have to be installed. Download a 2.7MB executable, run it, and the application will launch. That is all you have to do to get started with avast! Browser Cleanup.

The dark-themed interface features an expandable panel on the left hand side. Said panel features the following entries:
Summary – see if your browsers are plagued by add-ons that have a poor reputation.
Internet Explorer – view all add-ons for Internet Explorer, reset the browser’s settings, disable the add-ons you want.
Mozilla Firefox – view all add-ons for Firefox, reset the browser’s settings, disable the add-ons you want.
Google Chrome – view all add-ons for Chrome, reset the browser’s settings, disable the add-ons you want.
Support – support and feedback.

By default, avast! Browser Cleanup does not display add-ons with a good rating, it only displays add-ons that have a poor reputation and consequently should be removed from your PC. To view all add-ons, you must uncheck “Exclude add-ons with a good rating” from the bottom right hand corner.

Without asking for any money in return, avast! Browser Cleanup provides the following functionality: reset browser to its default settings, view a list of installed add-ons, enable and disable the add-ons you want, view the ratings assigned to all your add-ons, remove add-ons with a bad reputation.

avast! Browser Cleanup is free, portable, it has a simple interface, it resets your browser, and it removes unwanted add-ons from your browser. I don’t see what’s not to like about it!

Pros

avast! Browser Cleanup does not have to be installed. The application has a simple, user friendly interface. View and remove add-ons that have a bad reputation. View all add-ons, disable the ones you don’t need. Reset the browser to its default settings. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla’s Firefox, and Google’s Chrome are supported. avast! Browser Cleanup is free software.

Cons

None that I could think of.
