Installed Chrome plugin even though I don't have Chrome
« on: April 25, 2012, 01:01:23 AM »
I had Chrome on my PC months ago then uninstalled it. Now I look at the 'browser protection' bit on my avast! and it says the Chrome plugin is installed. I know many programs leave random files behind after uninstall but how can it install a plugin if I don't have the browser?  ???
