On rebooting the pc I found to my absolute horror that the developers at avast thik they know better than me about what software I need and had installed chrome. "I didn't have Chrome on my pc before I updated avas6.
#Does avast work with firefox incorrect install#
"The install welcome screen launched and before I had time to read the screen the install started never a chance to opt-out or configure the install." I responded NO and the then the 7 installation wanted me to click "Finish." When the screen cleared there was a Chrome icon on the desktop." NOTHING ABOUT CHROME!! Then after it installed 7 a screen pops up asking if I wanted to install Chrome. "One more dissatisfied user here! Avast notified me that it wanted to install Version 7. I just don't trust it after this happened and I see all the issues others had." When a vendor includes an add-on such as a toolbar or, in this case, the Google Browser, the point is "pay per install", thus the reason for the pre-checked option.įrom the sampling below of comments from the avast! forum, in a situation where the option to uncheck the install is either not left long enough for the user to access or their choice is ignored, trust in the vendor product is lost: Granted, the Google Chrome browser is not scareware, adware or spyware. Others reported problems with Hostman Server and Sandboxie, necessitating an uninstall/reinstall of avast!.People with Google Chrome installed have reported that even unchecking the installation option resulted in a second install of Chrome! In addition, that second install wrecked havoc with the existing Chrome installation, resetting the current users profile to default and extensions missing.(Note: it was also reported that the window was presented after the first hard restart rather than the initial restart installing the upgrade.) There are reports that the avast! window presented after reboot does not remain active long enough to uncheck the pre-checked options.

Reports of the inclusion of Google Chrome with the latest avast! upgrade began trickling in several days ago when Version 7 was released.Īs illustrated below, the issue is complicated by differing reports of the upgrade process.
