I'm seriously considering junking Avast in favour of MSE, which I'm already trialling on another computer.Enabling JavaScript and cookies in your web browser I really don't know why they still think doing these kinds of things is a good idea. One would have thought they would have learnt lessons from that.

It's not that long ago that there was a lot of criticism about Avast updating to the full trial version without offering an obvious choice (there was one but you had to jump through a few hoops to find it). I have now uninstalled it as I already have my software set up to notify me of updates. I've also been getting very hacked off with Avast Software Updater, another piece of unwanted software that was similarly silently included in the update. Personally I will never purchase software from any company that operates in this way. I presume Avast have some tie-up with Google that makes them money each time Chrome is installed.

It is totally unacceptable to silently install unwanted software. When the update window presented there was no option NOT to install Chrome nor any indication that it was being installed, other than that the update took a very long time.
