Today when I logged in and I was just about to turn my system volume up but before I had change to rise it, this add popped up and I clicked it by accident.
Google Chrome was installed instantaneously and set as my default browser. This is absolutely dirty trick to do.
I tried to cancel processes quickly so it wouldn't install it, but it did... I ended up totally removing gupdate and gupdatem services with cmd.exe and I also fiddled with my Windows Registry and deleted everything that was remotely suspicious with keyword "google". I'm an amateur so I hope I didn't mess up anything with my computer but everything has been working almost fine after multiple reboots and shutdowns...
This avast pop-up adware has popped up multiple times during last 6 hours
I specifically installed and use Firefox because it's easy to modify and I have been using it for many years now but I don't get it why Avast is trying to force Google Chrome on my computer with every update and now even pop-ups
I am happy with Avast as it has saved my butt many times from viruses.
Please, no more pop-up ads like this that will instantaneously install something when clicked.
