Hi. I tried to get GIMP photo editer. During the installer wizard, avast! had a pop-up message saying “adware blocked”. Whew, thank god avast! blocked adware. I just wanted to get a free photo editor.

Might have something in there.
As best practices, I always go to the vendor’s actual website and download the file I want from there. I rarely use links provided within articles such as this. Google can be your best friend.
Do you need or are getting help elsewhere in the forums?
