After quite a long time, I gave Avast Free latest version a try on my Win 10 64 Pro Laptop.
I did custom install & selected only File & Webshield.
Today Avast Online Shield was auto-installed in Chrome...I hate this type of behavior.
I am giving Avast another chance...if any feature gets auto-installed, will uninstall Avast.
I read nowadays Avast is quite aggressive with popups, features auto-install like mentioned above, etc...And I experienced the same.
Sad to say once a reputed AV now behaves kinda fake AV.
