Google Chrome crashes after Avast Free Antivirus installation in Windows 8.1

Google Chrome freezes (system crash) after I installed Avast Free Antivirus a couple days ago.

My OS is Windows 8.1, 64 bits.

First I notice a super short screen black flash, the display comes back and then (in a few seconds) everything freezes. I can’t call the Task Manager or anything else, the system crashes (I guess) without a blue screen or reboot, it “freezes”!

Can someone please help me solve this issue? Thanks in advance
