Thanks Pondus, guess it's time to stop recommending Chrome then.
You would think that avast would stop promoting it during installations
That post Pondus gave is almost a month old, haven't seen anything about a fix from Avast yet. Not that this has any effect on me as I won't install Chrome either. Ironic, Avast user does a default installation of Avast and ends up with Google Chrome installed, only for it to recommend uninstalling Avast
