Since I updated Avast Free I keep on receiving the aswOfferTool.exe Application Error each single time I restart my Windows 7 and also when I change my location in the Avast window sometimes. I previously also uninstalled Chrome and installed Firefox instead, just in case this could be relevant.
I tried everything I could find in the net, reinstalled Avast, repaired it and tried several recommended repair tools as CCleaner, Auslogics BoostSpeed and WinThruster. The problem remains and drives me crazy. I did not want Chrome to be installed and unchecked it during the installation process where it was offered, and I did not want to upgrade to paid version which I was offered several times.

Please can someone tell me how to get rid of this annoying error message?
