Issues I have with Free Install

I had to get my free installation from the forums (your free download page redirects to cnet which is kinda fishy) and I had no idea about the web browser that comes with the free installation. I know that you guys are legit but actions like these make your stuff seem more like fishy bloatware or fishy malware rather than an antivirus. A bit disappointed but otherwise running scans to see if I have anything on my computer now. And I just got it back from the repair shop smh.

Hi koreanboy1141,
about your problem with the browser. When you were installing avast did you uncheck the option to install Avast Secure Browser like in the picture:

If you did, please let me know I will try to investigate why is this happening again.

Yes I did. I unchecked that. I also had to install the larger offline version in your forums because the small version from the cnet redirect version got stuck installing for 40 minutes.
