jwoods301 you miss the point entirely, I know it is not actually Google doing the loading as it is obviously coming from the Avast update server. My criticism is of Avast for colluding with Google by downloading stuff you dont need or want when they should be protecting their users from spurious downloads. If I wanted Chrome I’d go to Google and ask for it.

Also jwoods301 I know it is called “bundling” and is common practice, but just because it has a name it does not make it right or desirable. It merely overloads inexperienced users with rubbish they dont need and dont know how to get rid of.
