Tired of avast offering to install Chrome ?
Well here is they registry that (as it looks) will disable the offering.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\No Chrome Offer Until]
“AVAST Software”=dword:0133c902
This DWORD disables it to 20171010
So now avast is not protected on chrome anymore?
Sure it is. Eddy’s suggestion is related to the Chrome ads in Avast.
And now that this is posted, how long till Avast changes it’s registry token ???
Guess how short it will take to find it… 
Cat and mouse game. 
Since I use Chrome as my default browser, this doesn’t really effect me.
When you keep pushing things down peoples throats, after many many offers for chrome that get turned down wouldn’t it be logical that avast learn, that they haven’t got a taker here and stop pushing it.
People start getting creative and this registry hack is no doubt just one thing to prevent these unwanted offers.
Should it really need to be a game of cat and mouse with all of these ads/offers there has to be a finite number of refusals to get the message people aren’t buying (intended pun) it as to make it pointless. People have their favourite browser and many of those people will already be using Chrome, so it is a game of diminishing returns.
I thought that people in marketing were meant to be smart, hacking off your users with ads/offers they aren’t taking up. All marketing should be gathering data to see how effective their campaigns are, just pushing out the same cr4p time after time isn’t an effective campaign.
Not to mention some of these campaigns are downright deceptive, misleading, I refer to old friend the ‘You need to activate your Firewall’ only to send you to the avast store. Generally I don’t bother much about ads, I just ignore them but this one I’m mightily sick of because of its deceit, I have a Firewall and it is active.
@David,
I never said I agree with e-commerce in their way of trying to shove products onto ‘unsuspecting’ customers.
I’ve voiced my disapproval of these tactics on many occasions. 
That is the problem, when marketing won’t listen and repeatedly keep pushing the same thing/s time after time after time, then people start looking for ways to bypass the ads/offers.
Chrome is over-rated garbage .Firefox or any other open source browser is better,
This topic has nothing to do with the chrome browser (people have their own preferences) it is about continually being offered it, despite having turned it down many times.
I just posted this for those people are tired of getting the frequent “offers” to install Chrome.
Peoples, I didn’t start this thread to start discussions.
Please take them elsewhere.
It is very clear that avast doesn’t want to and/or refuses to learn.
We as users have asked them for a long time to change things, but without result.
I can’t concentrate long enough for/on many things (health issues preventing it), but I’m pretty sure I can find more things to block the ads and other unwanted things from avast.
In fact, I did found some things in the past but am not sure if they still apply/will work.
That is the only reason why I am not publishing them now.
I haven’t looked into it but all databases that avast is using (file-extension .db) seem to be create with SQlite.
It would not surprise me if there are things in there that can be changed to “tweak” avast in ways that can’t be done through the GUI.
Sorry david but the title dictates otherwise.
Chrome is garbage and that is my opinion FWIW,
The title does not dictate otherwise, it is if anything how to avoid or ‘how to stop avast offering chrome.’
It has nothing to do with quality or otherwise of the browser. It is about the avast ads for it.
As I mentioned in Reply #6:
People have their favourite browser and many of those people will already be using Chrome, so it is a game of diminishing returns.
This is the only time I see an ad about Chrome.
STOP
Stop what and why are you shouting?
