So, I decided to download the Avast update. And what happened? Some gremlin installed Chrome and related stuff on my PC. I never asked for this. I am happy with Firefox. I don’t like Google. I had to uninstall the things.
This is the worst sort of junk mail, because it cannot be blocked. It comes from a provider whom I elected to trust, my security program, for crying out loud! Avast must have competitors out there. I’m looking for them.
This has been a PITA with v8.0 You are not the first with this complaint.
This appears to happen without any “opt-out” screen at all.
This has been a known bug which for some reason avast is “still” dealing with.
Sorry it happened to you. If it had happened to me I’d be upset also.
