Today I installed the latest update of Avast. After Reboot, I got a message box telling me it was going to push Avast Antivirus to all devices associated with my Google account. It detected my Google account and was going to install the apps on my phone without any intervention unless I cancelled out.
I have two factor authentication setup on my Google account, and I rechecked my account permissions - I did NOT find any permission granted to Avast to access my Google account.
How is Avast accessing my Google account? How is it even detecting the EMail ID for my account when I have never provided this to Avast?
I have Chrome installed on my Desktop and have logged into Chrome with my Google account. Does this mean any program that runs on my computer can use my Google account?25 685465
