I’ve been using avast for years and it has been the best and least intrusive virus software I have ever used. However, I just recently updated and avast forced me to install chrome and a google toolbar. Really not appreciated avast, not appreciated at all. I really hope this isn’t a move toward becoming more google/apple like in the way you do business.
You are provided a option during the install at the bottom,you probably missed it and forgot to uncheck it
Which version of avast?
This is a known problem with v.8.0.xxxx Since I am beta testing v2014 I don’t know if this has been fixed.
You are not the first to report this. There have been some installs which do not show “any” screen with the
Chrome “opt-out” option. This issue seems to be fixed in the v2014 beta. Personally I would prefer it to be
“opt-in” and not “opt-out” but I don’t see that happening.
