The root of the problem is that the option to opt out is in small print, very small print, not plainly obvious Avast hoping you will miss it and it will get installed... Avast you are getting like rest of the vendors - sneaky I call it!
Simple, put up with it or go somewhere else and if this was the case and they lost customers they would soon be having second thoughts, as it is now its only on install but the next stage is that they start pushing it and ramming it down our throats, leaves me to ask what else are they doing without our knowledge.
This is supposed to be a premium service isn't it? Nope wasn't me who voted for it... stand up the real person.
