Hi Xeolyte
I find it amusing that people use avast because they trust them, other wise you would use some other software.
But if you do not check what is ticked when you are installing, you are told you should always check as it is your responsibility which i agree up to a certain point.
Maybe i am naive, but i also got caught as the last time i installed you had to tick the boxes if you wanted Google browser and when i installed it about a week ago i paid no attention and got what i didn't want.
So silly of me for placing my trust in Avast, that i would have to opt in for any 3rd party software not opt out, live and learn
Cheers
