rambo Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Installed MX7 on fresh system (win11), I believe Bright VPN came with MX as extension. Right after installation I removed this extension (never accepted any permission). But after every re-open of MX7 it is coming again, asking for permissions. Also it is sitting windows taskbar settings (I uninstalled it from windows, but anyway). What is it? MX7 coming with virus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi rambo, BrightVPN is actually an app. Does it still prompt even after you uninstall from windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And right after you see this message prompting, you could right click on the extension and select 'Remove from Maxthon'. FYI, to uninstall please go to Apps & features in windows > BrightVPN > Uninstall. Just to confirm, are you using the latest version V7.0.0.1100?
