Avast and Google Chrome
As we get close to our launch date for our new Avast! Free Antivirus, version 5 we have an exciting new agreement with Google to announce. Starting in mid-November, we will be giving our new users an option to install Google Chrome when installing Avast. And to be clear here since I think some readers were reading too much into this entry. We are not forcing Chrome on users. It is entirely up to the user--to download/install is entirely up to the user and nothing is hidden.
Personally, I think Google Chrome is an exciting new browser. As you can see below it is very clean—a single menu bar and a combined search/url entry window. It also launches very fast, its source code is open source, and most important for Avast users, it has some real neat features that complement the Avast security. You can read more about it here: http://www.google.com/chrome?hl=en.
As you can imagine software companies approach us all the time wanting us to bundle their products with ours. We have always said no to these arrangements. However, with Chrome we feel that it is a nice complement to our product. And Google's Google philosophy is similar to ours—Chrome are both full-featured excellent products that happen to be free.
Hi Vince,
Is it stabilize to use as web browser?
I use most browsers today for test, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, IE were all in my system. I would like to say Chrome is greatly nice for new incoming browser, but still I prefer Firefox. Just a personal opinion.
Two great products. Am using both, but I just hope that there'll be an option to download Avast installer without the included Chrome and that the option will be 'opt-in like' so Firefox and other browser fans wont start to complain that it was forced on them.
I just try google chrome, but i still more prefer to use Firefox.
It is the best browser
I'm afraid I cannot regard any kind of deal with Google as a good idea, whether it is presented as an "opt-in" OR an opt-out during download. Since its launch, privacy issues with Google Chrome have been the subject of much debate in reviews and forums, and the famous Google Toolbar has long been regarded as malware, or at the very least, a PUA by many people. I regret that Alwil has felt the need to follow other ( inferior ) anti-virus vendors in their craze for dubious partnership deals and I, for one, would prefer Avast! to remain independent and proud as it as always been up to now. We have an old English saying: " If you eat with the Devil, be sure to use a very long spoon ".
I too have tried Chrome, I found it to be OK as a browser, but it does not work with roboform, that means I will not use it as my browser. I too am a firefox user and will continue to be one. I have been a happy user of avast but, will now take another look at others.
I hate this kind of agreement. :/
Chrome is a #X※%!
I will choose my own browser, thank you. I do use Chrome for some things.
The question before the house right now is, what are you doing to fix all those false alsrms in the Dec 3 database?
Neil, please do use whatever you prefer. We do believe in choice. And to clear the air, we are not installing Chrome. A user has to explicitly approve it. And so sorry about the false alarms. As you know, it is all fixed now.
"It also launches very fast, its source code is open source, and most important for Avast users, it has some real neat features that complement the Avast security."
Which features complement Avast, and how?
THere is a neat tab sandboxing feature. Try it out.
Neil :
The question before the house right now is, what are you doing to fix all those false alsrms in the Dec 3 database?
Sorry--I didn't realize you have already released the fix.
I use Firefox for most of my web browsing, but Chrome has one very nice feature that FF doesn't.
Chrome can transform any web page into its own window, with its own desktop and/or Quick Launch shortcut (user's choice). I use that feature for quickly launchimg some online radio stations that I listen to often, for a webmail application, and for a couple of other sites that lend themselves to being accessed that way.
Mozilla does offer a similar feature via Prism, available as a standalone beta product or a Firefox extension. The problem with Prism is that for each web page you apply it to, it creates another copy of its profile on your disk, thereby wasting lots of disk space on redundant files. Chrome's implementation does not seem to do that.
Russell Golden :
"It also launches very fast, its source code is open source, and most important for Avast users, it has some real neat features that complement the Avast security."
Which features complement Avast, and how?
I have the answer: the money Avast received from Google. =D
If a web browser complete with an anti-virus software it should be Opera, the safer one.
Rafael, if it was a matter of money there are many things we could do. That is not the issue. Personally my browser days go back way before Opera to the Mosaic days. But, for the vast majority of users they need a browser from a company that can support it. Like it or not these days, that is Firefox, IM, and now Chrome. And of course Safari if one uses a Mac.
I am not sure this is the type of agreement you hate. All we do is ask a question if the user wants to download and try Chrome. If they say yes, it gets downloaded. If they say no, it does not. This is not an opt-out or hidden approach.
Why leave Avast if you are happy with it? Maybe you read too much into the posting. We are not installing Chrome or opt'ing people into it. We ask a question if they want to try it. If they say no, that is it. There is nothing hidden. Just one question.
Hi Kronos. We do agree with your belief about not offering toolbars, etc. We have turned down more tool bar offers than we can count. This is not an opt-in nor opt-out. It is a question that a user has to answer yes or no to.
Quesar, at new Avast installation time, we ask users if they want to download and install Chrome. If they say yes, we do so. If they say no, we don't. It is not an opt-out and it is definitely not hidden.
Yes it is Yanto.
I agree with Rafael; I suspect that most deals of this kind are motivated by money.
Mr Steckler is correct in saying that Google Chrome is based on the free Chromium open source code, but so is the SRWare Iron browser, which has a reputation for having none of the security and privacy issues attributed to Google Chrome. We must not forget that Google will have added features to their version to suit their own needs.
It's a shame that Alwil didn't consult the opinions of loyal Avast! users before launching version 5 in this way.
Actually Kronos and Rafael. This is not motivated by money alone. If that were the motivation, we would do a toolbar like everyone else. Or we would be doing daily pop ups asking for money. Or constant nags for upgrades. You know we don't do that. And we did actually consult our users. We do have a section of our forum where we discuss these issues with thousands of users. This was posted there and discussed.
Is everyone having a MAJOR issue with the 12/3 update. I had over 30 files that stated that my computer was infected with the Win32:Delf-MZG (Trj) virus. Looking on the web, there is a bug in this update causing this issue and this is a faulse positive.
It would not repair the files and but would put them all in the chest. I had to uninstall Avast because it kept finding more files.
@Vincent Steckler
Thank you, Mr Steckler, for your reassurance in this matter. Having used Avast! for many years I have no reason to doubt the integrity of either you or Alwil. I confess that I'm usually too busy to view the forum but I will try and visit more often in future.
I agree that the original wording of the posting may have sparked the adverse reactions listed above but since your clarification, I think those concerns will be avoided.
Google Chrome is screaming fast compared to all the other browsers. Do this as a test:
Try opening both IE and Chrome at the same time. Click on IE FIRST to give it a head start. I guarantee Chrome will open first....seconds on your day add up fast over the course of a year.
I agree...alwil don't want to force anyone to try chrome, this is clear enought..but i'm quite curious about the security improvement that this merger could cause. I'll give a look at the forum, an then, once i'll have the necessary details, i'll decide.
I think this is the right way to face the matter...
But Google Chrome is sorely lacking in one area: Cookie Management. It's either BLOCK ALL or ALLOW ALL basically. It's ridiculous! So if you want to do anything online basically you end up bombarded w/a zillion cookies. They have no way to whitelist sites, nothing. They claim the middle setting "restricts how third-parties" use the data but no details, and I get a million adware cookies daily.
Very suspicious as Google probably likes cookies b/c they are so big to their business. In their blog they say their "working on it" but please. We're talking about Google. If they can't figure it out then how did they get to be so big in the first place?
I meant "they are" working on it. I hate when people use "their" wrong. lol
Good to hear. Chrome is indeed a great browser and is ahead of IE and Firefox in terms of speed and multithreaded applications. Having the option to kill a single tab and not the entire program is a feature WAY ahead of other browsers.
@Vincent Steckler
If there is only asking 'yes' or 'no', I would agree with you. Google just like Avast, I use more features on Google than other providers like Yahoo or MSN, because I love their spirit.
But it was a very shocking news here for non-google chrome users who are avast users too.
Yanto Chiang :
I just try google chrome, but i still more prefer to use Firefox.
Yup, so do I
Have used Avast Antivirus Home Edition for years also recommending it to friends and family. Recently, two or three days ago the program downloaded updates automatically as usual, but since then it views any application as a virus, what gives??? This same thing happened about a year ago after an auto update.
Would not let me run any scans other than a boot scan that deleted files that required me to reload any affected program after Googleing the virus string and finding out that the Avast update caused the problem.
Still believe in the Avast product, but also think you guys should offer LOYAL customers free Pro upgrades when your product causes this much trouble. Thank God, once I got online ON MY PHONE that is where I found the internet was abuzz with people saying to disable Avast to stop the problem. At that time my computer was already on an Avast Boot Scan deleting stated viruses.
I agree with Bob. I've put so many files in the chest because of this false positive that my PC is hung. No way can I get the offered fix to work. I'm about to try Safe Mode again (haven't been able to get into it yet!). Otherwise I'm heading for a re-install of Windows. Pathetic when your anti-virus program causes you to do that! An upgrade would console me a little. Just
I have to share Bob and Bryan's concern about the latest false positive issue (I'm not looking for a free upgrade, however), but a couple of things came out of it (I run a small home network of five machines with Raid and USB clone drives doing backup duties, and attached NAS devices... (Getting a hint of what trouble a massive false positive creates...?) One machine was "apparently" so badly infected (in memory, no less), that it recommended a boot scan prior to load, which I did. The only problem is the only working option in a boot scan is a file delete... I now have an XP box (that is 24/7 web updater) that has holes all over its dlls due to deletes on boot scan. Worse, some of the "affected" files were restore file in the system backup. I have restored what I can and the machine will boot and run the key software, but I know there will be issues down the road. Fortunately I suspected a problem shortly after I saw the scope of the "infection", and halted scanning of the rest of the network servers, but had I processed the backups as well as the working drives, I would have been looking at 100s of hours of rebuild time. This is not trivial. Please test before release, test before release, and make the boot scan routine more robust - have some way to archive the files so they can be recovered in the event this happens again.
Off Topic:
Public Relations 101: When you have a problem that affects many users, address it promptly and directly. The SNAFU from early yesterday has not been addressed on this blog, and it should be. Your users (including myself) want an assurance that this will never happen again. Such an issue should have been caught with rudimentary testing, and it leaves many of us wondering.
I like Chrome, but probably not as much as Firefox at this point. And I still have not figured out how to get a sidebar with my bookmarks. Is that not an option?
I've been using Google Chrome & IE in my system,i preferred Google Chrome as a personal choice coz of its simplicity & speed...As for Avast,its a great anti-virus coz it can detect even mobile viruses.
@Vincent Steckler Ok, it's going to be yes or no. I suppose yes will be ticked by default in the installation, am I right?
PS: I know you don't send us pop-ups asking for money, many thanks for that! *------*

Personally my browser days go back way before Opera to the Mosaic days. But, for the vast majority of users they need a browser from a company that can support it. Like it or not these days, that is Firefox, IM, and now Chrome. And of course Safari if one uses a Mac.
So you're saying opera doesn't support their browser? Then why do they bring out security fixes? On what grounds did you claim that? If there is a security leak, they always patch it.
Chrome isn't even worth calling a browser, it has privacy issues from the start. It's now at it's 3th version and still it doesn't recognize rss feeds. They don't even have a optional menubar (menubar can be turned off in opera), or a good cookie management system and far from customziable (how would I put my tabs on the bottom?). Anyway, the only reason I see (for bundling) chrome, is that avast is getting money for each install. You say "neat features that complement the Avast security". About what features (that have something to do with security) are you talking about?
Sirnh1, you missed the point. The layman (such as my mother) would not use Opera. They want a name they have heard of and trust.
Actually not Rafael. Try the install and see what you think.

What Vince is talking about is mainly related to the tab sandboxing feature. The foundations of this technology are based on GreenBorder - a product that Google acquired a few years back and then used the people behind on the Chrome team.
over protektiv vyrus-suspekshun kittle gives it a paw up!!
You are right Che. There is a blog entry now....and a much more detailed explanation in our forums (linked to from the blog).
@Vincent Steckler I've installed Avast 5 beta 3, nothing about Chrome, then I unnistalled it and tried 4.8 and still seeing nothing about Chrome..
What are the exactly point in the installation that I should see the browser recommendation? I tried to reboot after finishing it but still don't see anything about Chrome.. :S
PS: Chrome isn't installed in my computer. (just to you know that Avast can't detect Chrome is already installed or something like this)
Rafael, what language version of avast 4.8 did you download, and from where?
I totally agree that Chrome is the best browser around, but bundling it with avast will increase its download size and install time.
It would be better to ask for the installation of chrome after the computer restarts(after installing avast), because chrome is only an online installer which would take some time to download.
John Quigley :I too have tried Chrome, I found it to be OK as a browser, but it does not work with roboform, that means I will not use it as my browser. I too am a firefox user and will continue to be one. I have been a happy user of avast but, will now take another look at others.
I too use RoboForm and just noticed that they have their own version of Chrome...infact they recomend uninstalling the regular version if you already have it. Has anyone tried it and what do you think?
I am typing this from Google Chrome and I certainly like the speed at which it renders pages. I did not think anything could be faster than Firefox before I saw Chrome. Chrome is for the user who likes their speed. Firefox is for the guy who likes his add-ons. Well I like both, so I use both :)
Does "Chrome" work OK with dial up?
@Anna..yes Google Chrome works great with dial up. Also, new features to chrome like Bookmark Sync (access bookmarks from other computers etc), EXTESNSION/ADD-ONS like ROBOFORM AND ADBLOCK PLUS plus, and many other new features will be available in Google Chrome 4 which will be launched in a few weeks. Google Chrome is already the fastest and safest browser on the market and already has many great features.
Yup. I use Google Chrome. It is several light years away from IE8 when it comes to being a secure browser. Well... Who still wants to use IE8? No offense intended to those who love IE. I use Chrome alongside Avast. :)
From an average pc-user point of view.
I loved Firefox when it came out and I went crazy with all the add-ons until the novelty wore off. I know it offers a lot of add-ons that are very useful for those who know how to use them, but for people like me, I just needed a fast and no-fuss browser. Chrome is and since the day I downloaded it (back when it was all the rage and I didn't really expect anything from it), I've never used, or have in my computer, any other browser.
I only have Chrome, OpenDNS, CCleaner and Avast! (all free) and my computer is still running, while my mom and my sister now share the family desktop after their laptops crashed.
ilved google chrome with avast antivirus.
How does Google Chrome (Newest version possible) stack up against FireFox (newest version possible) as far as security wise?
Chrome offers no add-ons, Yet FF with NoScript and Request Policy is pretty secure as far as being exploited and what have you.
Does Chrome offer REALLY good security for FF users to swap? And if so,Can you provide details please?
I have used fire fox and still do on my Linux desk top, But I have used Chrome since it came out on my Lap top. I love it. I love G-mail and that I type an email send it and remember OH I forgot to say Happy Birthday and I have 45 seconds to undo my send. I love that when my browser opens my 6 most used web pages are there on my home page so I can click and go. I love that when I do a search I don't have to use a search engine I just type in the address bar hit enter and wallah I get my options, I love that if I want a page left open I can just click on the tab and a new page opens with my home page cause most likely I will want one of the most pages I go to. I have had no security issues with Google as I have with IE, Firefox, and Safari. If Google Chrome Times out it asks you do you want to wait or close the page If you click wait it will continue working and try and open the page. Most the time it will. Firefox, IE, Safari and all the other browsers just give to a can't open page screen. If you go to settings in the little wrench on the right side of Chrome you can customize it and do all kinds of things.
Try it you may like it! AND SPEED it opens fast I Mean FAST like GREASE LIGHTING FAST. OK sorry for shouting but had to get my point across.
I have been using Avast and Chrome for sometime now, and I am generally pleased with both of them, especially AVAST, with which I can safely say I have had NO virus infiltrations since its installation. Chrome's minimalist style is a major attraction, but is speed is second to none. I still use Firefox because of the number of add-ons and extensions, but Chrome is in the process of providing those as well. If you have not used Chrome, you certainly should take a look at it. If you have not tried AVAST then I give the same advice, its a first rate anti-virus, which on its own merits, and in my opinion, is much better than Norton or McAfee.
Vincent Steckler :

My mother would rather use something that's safe and doesn't have these major privacy issues...
vlk :
What Vince is talking about is mainly related to the tab sandboxing feature.
Sandboxing? That's the only reason? If I want sandboxing I'll use sandboxie or Bufferzone (from trustware) or 'Returnil Virtual System' or anything else. Trusting a browser just because it has 'sandboxing', is stupid. Just because it has sandboxing doesn't mean it's the best (and safest) thing out there. Besides a good virusscanner should be able to catch (and remove) a virus/spyware/rootkit/... the moment it's executed, no matter what happens. Sandboxing shouldn't have any influence over it. Chrome is fast and opensource, but so what? Opensource isn't an argument, unless you downloaded the source and changed it yourself, and there are more important things than speed (like supporting rss, mouse gestures, etc...)

No it doesn't. Did we say it does?
But on the other hand, sandboxing does make a difference.

Isn't it great to have choices? I mean, it seems like you installed Chrome, played with it and concluded that you it was not your cup of tea. And that's perfectly fine. We are not pushing anyone into using anything.
What's the problem, really?
Your just going to lose a lot of customers.
Many,many, people see Google as BIG BROTHER.
And Google Chrome knows where you have been and what you did.
You forget Google is one big information GIANT.
Hope some of you get to read this before its deleted.
I think Avast!'s move to bundle Chrome with it's download is a great move for both Alwil and Google. I love Avast! for a whole number of reasons (lightweight, effective, unobtrusive,fast,etc.,etc.) and Chrome, even though I've chosen to uninstall it, is just as much of those things from Google. Great strategic move on the part of both. It won't be long before Avast! and Chrome will be picking up another 15% market share and for good reason.
Arthur, all browsers know where you have been and what you did. And, we are not forcing Chrome on anyone. There is no reason to lose users. Chrome is there if people want it. Nothing more. Nothing less. And, we as you will note, we do not censor or remove comments we don't like. So there is no hurry with anyone reading your note. It will not be deleted.
Sirnh1, As we have said, we are not mandating Chrome or forcing a download on people. If someone wants it, they have to click a box to download it. It is a matter of choice. We can all make arguments as to why one product is better than another.
I read it and agree Google does keep and share with the govt your internet history.
You are correct in saying that. However, the NSA is so dayam advanced and invasive it really doesn't matter, LOL. They see anything they want. They even listen in on private calls by military intel peeps.
I didn't got a reply about my problem to not seeing Chrome anywhere in the installation, as aways...
Well, all I can say is that Chrome isn't the safer browser in the market, and the features being implemented now was implemented 10 years ago by Opera Software.
I'm not giving personal option, I'm showing you the facts, wasn't me who made the security tests and I'm not able to change the history.
Then, I can't agree with 90% of the people here. I'm smart enough to do not agree.
Sorry, thanks for not deleting this.
Please give us a break. The last time we communicated on this was Friday evening. It is now Sunday evening. There are some conditions upon which a chrome download offer is not made. I am sure Ondrej will respond soon.
@Don in Missouri
Don, that is a heck of a consipiracy theory. I would suggest asking google about your claim.
Hey - I've been using Avast for a few years now and it's truly brilliant - just the odd one or two near misses - but still outstanding for a free AV and EPIC compared to paid versions of Norton - Google chrome is really fast and quite good but still has a few flaws here and there + i don't think bundling products is a bad thing TBH as long as they're good quality plus it's convenient if you've a new PC/Laptop and have no re-installed AV or browser so overall i think the bundling was a good thing and you guys should bundle free stuff as well - Goodluck with Ver5
Is it really that hard for everyone to understand that just because it has the OPTION to download/install Chrome with it that it is not being forced on you? Seriously I couldn't count the number of times I have downloaded something and it asks me if I want to install the Ask Toolbar with it or something similar. As to the govt. seeing what you do there are two reasons you should care,
1) Violation of civil rights, etc.
2) You are doing something illegal to begin with and trying to hide it.
In my experience most people who claim the first one as their reason, are actually loaded with gigs of illegal content. If this is you then maybe you should read the installers, and simply click "no I do not want Google Chrome" - problem solved.
As for Avast its a great, free AV, I switched to it after AVG wouldn't let me tell it that an installer was not a virus without uninstalling AVG completely.
In summary, if you don't want Chrome then don't install it, and Avast kicks ass.
You can get medication for paraniod schitzophrenia. You shold see a doctor.

vlk :
Reason for what? I was only explaining what Vince meant by the security features.
And I'm talking about why avast would include chrome into it's installer. I just don't get why.
vlk :
Even if you were your mother?
If you have used any of these applications, you probably know that they have certain usability issues. Also, none of the applications you quoted is free.
You can use Sandboxie for free, after 30 days it shows a screen that you can pay for a lifetime license. Returnil Virtual System Has a 'Home free' version, that is... free. Bufferzone indeed doesn't have a free version, but is still great.
"What's the problem, really?"
I don't really have a problem. I only still don't get why chrome was embedded. I would expect more reasons then only fast launching, open source and sandboxed tabs. That's all.
I don't mind avast embedding something in it's installer (I uncheck anything in most installers anyway). I just don't get why they embed chrome, into it's installer.
Just started using Chrome more, have always had Avast on this computer. First thing I did was install Avast and uninstall the preloaded anti-virus programs that came with it. I love Avast!!Was having problems loading some websites on Chrome and found that I had to install the latest Java update to get Chrome to run properly. So if you are offering the Chrome option when downloading Avast it should include the latest version of Java too. Otherwise Chrome will display "URL not Supported" on a lot of websites.
As a user who prefers the paranoid approach, I used Firefox because of its available security extensions (esp. NoScript, AdBlock Plus, Cookie Monster, WOT, and BetterPrivacy), the only type of extensions I install. That said, Chrome is making great strides. Once I see support for such add-ons in Chrome, I may very well make the switch myself. It's speed alone is truly commendable, much like avast! (my preferred AV for years, for that reason as well as its superior detection). Best of luck w/ 5.0. Can't wait!
@Vincent Steckler That's ok, I've saw it here: http://www.baboo.com.br/conteudo/modelos/?a=37226&z=317
That's clearly an option, cool.. ^^
Very different from some software like Messenger Plus Live that make us to doubt about what we are agreeing to install. :P
I hope Avast will apply Script blocker in to the google chrome just like Internet Explorer. But I hope it will also be applied in other browser..
Yes, Google Chrome is an excellent browser that many people still don't know about. This is perfect, finally completing the connection between the best AV program and the best internet browser. I'm practically exploding with anticipation. But PLEASE keep the skins.
I've been an Avast user for 4+ years and a Firefox user for 5 and I don't see any reason now or in the future for me to use any other browser so thanks, but no thanks to Chrome. But for those concerned, bundling 3rd party software happens all of the time. Sun offers the Yahoo toolbar when you install Java for example.
As far as I'm aware, the option to install Chrome is not checked by default which is a smart and classy move on Avast's part.
It isn't news to anyone that Google's revenue is mind blowing so no one should be surprised that Avast has agreed to this. Avast has saved me more time and money than even I'm aware of so if they can generate some $ to get back some of what they give us all for free, then good for them. Go for it.
I love Avast and can't imagine ever having a reason to use anything else. I wouldn't download or install anything, or open an email in my email client (Mozilla Thunderbird) without Avast running.
Thanks Avast. You rock!
I am extrememly dissapointed about the new that Google Chome will be included with Avst. I coudn't care less if it is not installed by default, I don't want in included with the installer at all.
I know that lots of companies are including other programs or toolbars - however I have no time for these applications either.
I guess it's time to switch to another antivirus.
Hi to all,
I'm an old an loyal customer of Avast for the last 6 years. I have been using lots of other antivirus products before but since then I didn't do any other try. Avast is safe, it's light and it's fast, it has push updates so I have peace of mind.
I'm glad to see that Google choosed Avast since Google Chrome is light and fast and easy to use. I was using Firefox since version 1 , then on vesrion 2 where it was mauch better than IE.
But after releasing version 3 it became slowest even from IE. More bugs and security issues made me to move to Chrome and I love it.
Well done Avast.
Google Chrome does work faster, but I have found a few bugs in it which I can't live with. The one most irritating is that when I forward a Gmail email which has imbedded pictures/graphics in it, most of the time it does not forward the pictures. The recipients only get blank boxes with a red "X" in the box.
Hi Vince,
Another good news about google chrome in Indonesia, from Yahoo! indonesia wrote an article about google chrome bundle with avast : http://id.news.yahoo.com/dtik/20091207/ttc-google-chrome-dilindungi-antivirus-a-f0a1c5d.html

I still think that for a security software company, it's best not to link to anyone else, thus simply avoiding that anybody questions neutrality. Look at Comodo. It's about trust. And of all possible bundles you choose Google. The company that wants to know your habits. A pity...
A long time avast user
Not to mention that now Avast Free in reviews will be in the 'bundled', or 'adware', or 'ad supported' category, instead of pure freeware...Like AVG, Comodo, and all those that old style Avast users would have begatively commented on.
Hope you get some good money out of your Google deal,
I hope avast 5 will still be light and less resources unlike Avira, AVG especially Kaspersky..

Hi Friends,
Does my information bother you?
Or perhaps avast products is better than your products?
Yanto Chiang
Hi anothermack,
I need to pointed out about bundle or OEM products.
Does you know how many products in this world, doesn't take OEM or bundling with other brands?
I'll show to you :
1. Symantec - bundling with some notebook vendor
2. Kaspersky - bundling with some notebook vendor and also their engine OEM to some AV brands too
3. McAfee - bundling with some notebook vendor
That is 3 particular brands that we can see, but for other AV vendors.
To be honest, i don't know about how they are do OEM or bundling promo with other vendor.
I think vince more know deeply about this, since he ever worked for one of quite popular antivirus vendor.
Anothermack, we are not "bundled", "adware" or any of that other stuff. This is a simple question to users. I think many, many would disagree that Comodo is just about trust. Remember please that Comodo makes money by selling SSL certificates.
Rafael, the bundling is not being offered currently in Brazil. That is why you did not see it.
Roger, I fail to understand. We ask a user a question and that warrants replacing one of the best security products on the market? What will you use? AVG puts in a toolbar whether you want it or not. So does Norton. Avira gives you an ad every day. PCTools finds problems (and maybe some that are not problems) and then asks you for money to fix them. The list goes on and on. I would be we are the best behaved product on the market. Why switch?
Open source works well with FireFox, so we should continue to find good results with another, attractive open source-based product like Chrome.
That said, Alwil's decision to allow users to choose whether to install Chrome is a good one, since many of us are happy with FireFox.
Hallo Avast team.
chould you learn from history, the history of trust, the trust from us, the users that, when trust apears will buy your software again and again.
I agre with Roger:
>> Roger December 8th, 2009 at 11:38
I am extrememly dissapointed about the new that Google Chome will be included with Avst. I coudn't care less if it is not installed by default, I don't want in included with the installer at all.
I know that lots of companies are including other programs or toolbars – however I have no time for these applications either.
I guess it's time to switch to another antivirus. <<
Dont sell to Google.
firefox ore chrome ?? its the same.. try about:config in your firefox adressbar
and hit enter...
regards from history
First point, I fail to understand why people are raging about Google Chrome when there is an option for you NOT to install it. I am also wary of bundled software, but hey, we must remember this is business. And may I also correct some people based on my understanding, just included the option to install Google Chrome. If you guys know how Google Chrome is installed, then you will understand that it is not bundled or included in the Avast installation, not like what other AVs are doing wherein the installer is already in the package. When the option NOT to install is advocated, the product's installer doesn't activate. From what I know, Google's installer downloads it from the website. So I don't know where the bundling is. It is simply an option.
Second Point. Google Chrome is also a secure browser. It is not perfect. In fact, I challenge anyone who will tell me there is a perfect browser and I will blatantly tell you to live on the moon as that is Utopic. So it does still go perfectly with a Security Program as opposed to a toolbar. Good riddance. Those software are annoying as compared to a browser, and you even have the option NOT to install it. So where is the problem?
Inclusion of product for installation doesn't mean also that Alwil will take sides with Google. Plain and simple guys. If you are so annoyed with Google's way of doing business, then by all means, don't browse the internet as they are all over the place. Paranoia is helpful to a certain extent. But extremes of it will do more damage. But definitely, a browser is even much better compared to a toolbar. So why the fuzz? Privacy? Don't use the net. Plain and simple.
And oh yeah... Alwil's inclusion to add a browser option to their installation just shows they are confident about their product. It simply means, they can protect your computer while you surf with the optional browser. It is like even encouraging you to go ahead and surf since we can protect you. But Chrome or no Chrome, the product does protect you. And may I add, trend shows that all browsers are gearing towards being secure. So nothing fancy there.
Compare that to some fancy paid AVs (paid or not) that will tell you that the additional toolbar will help you to have a secure PC or a secure online experience when used in tandem with their product (so the AV is inadequate then?). Question is, that is not a toolbar's job. It is the AV's job (or internet security suite's) to make sure that you have a secure online experience.
To be honest with you 99% of the time I use absolutely no antivirus or security suite and use the standard Windows firewall with nothing at all installed to give me any kind of real time protection against malware.
I visit many sites which could be considered unsafe but it is very rare indeed for me to infected. Also I currently use Avant Browser (Internet Explorer based).
Occasionally I install security software - not to provide with protection but just to test out differnet software and compare the interfaces of different AV software.
With regards to Avast, I have installed it on many computers (and have used it on my compuers in the past) and the beta of version 5 seems to be working very well.
I do regard it as the best free antivirus, and on the whole I think for personal use the free Avast is a better option than any of the commercial products.
I guess I will continue to install Avast on peoples computers simply because it works very well and there are for example never any problems in receiving the automatic defination updates. However I am not at all happy about the inclusion of Chrome (and would feel the same way about any browser of 3rd party toolbar included). A have found that a lot of people have Chrome installed due it being bundled with other software, but only ever use Internet Explorer...
The problem with most people:
1) They IMPOSE their likes on other people. Only thing I can say: GROW UP. This is the internet age. Who cares if you don't like Chrome bein an option in Avast? You are not the ONLY one who has preferences. Besides, this is life. We need to have a lot of options. If you don't like any optioNs, then DON'T USE THE WEB.
2) They are too stuck up with privacy issues. Simple answer: Don't go out of your house if you fear Google trying to watch your every move. As I have said, paranoia doesn't like people who has issues with almost everything.
Chrome is a browser. So what if it is included as an option? Duh!!! Some people just don't get it. Just my two cents worth on this. People always have a choice. Now I believe it is perfectly wrong also NOT TO OFFER these choices to other people. After all, WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES USING THE WEB. To say that the option should not even be there, how selfish one could get. Be happy there are options.
Seasons Greetings to all:
I have just gone through this blog of comments. So here's my 2 cents worth.
Avast home edition is worth every penny you don't have to spend, It's an investment if you upgrade to Pro, which I did two years ago. Never a regret since. The team at Avast is professional, credible and on top of their game.. Enough said.
For those of you who keep your head buried in the sand, about options and choices that are available to you I say grow up, get a life and look in the mirror the next time you want to whine! Offering Google Chrome as an option is just that. It's not a conspiracy, it's not a threat, it's not a life threatening decision. Just make an intelligent decision, if you are capable, and enjoy the benefits. Avast only wants your continued support if they earn it and so far they have. It's a great product, free or paid for. I made the decision to pay for it because it is worth it. As for the options, thats my decision to make, not whine about. Thanks Avast.
I'm having a hard time understanding peoples problem with being asked if they want to install Chrome when installing Avast. I'm assuming a lot of the detractors posting here already have Avast installed so they have never even been asked this question. Avast is one of the best products on the market, provided for free if needed (which I do) and uninstalling because of a question you'll be asked once seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Also to say thank you Alwil and looking forward to Avast 5.
Hi, now WOT works with Google Chrome! Fantastic!
You can download it here:
Hi again, I forgot to point out that Google Chrome will only work with Google Chrome version 18.104.22.168
It seems that you can download it here:
Sorry, I meant that WOT will only work with Google Chrome version 18.104.22.168
It seems that you can download it here:
Sorry I meant that WOT will only work with Google Chrome version 188.8.131.52 which you can download by clicking above link.
It doesn't really matter what software you are "bundleing", you will be guilty of tricking people into installing Chrome. And it will be tricking people. Some people will not read the question and will just assume that it is a part of the installation process of Avast and will tick "yes". The next thing they know is that they have an unwanted program on their PC. This is exactly how peoples browsers become infested with all those damned tool bars. You could say that it would be their fault, and you would be right. However, that is exactly the process that you want to happen and, therefore, why you should not be doing this.
I can't believe all the whining. You go into a hamburger joint and order a hamburger and the kid taking your order asks if you want fries with that. Is that a conspiracy. Can you say no? Are you afraid that they will go ahead and put fries in your order even tho you didn't order them? Come on people. You are offered a product. You have the option of accepting it. If you don't check it you will not get it. I'm not a Chrome fan, but don't whine when someone offers you something. Grow up.
Thanks avast. You have a very good product.
Just wanted to say to all those flaming Chrome that you have to understand how new it is compared to all these other browsers and how quickly it has advanced since its creation. Already they have more users than any browser but FF. It's also very user friendly, and for those concerned about security... that's why we have avast!
If that isn't good enough, then like they have stated very clearly: It's optional.
Hi there,
first, happy xmas :)
Second, this bundle gives you money from google!
So, user should get the sandbox function from the Avast 5 Pro version for free, which are using this bundle/offer from you..!
From Trevor:
"It doesn't really matter what software you are "bundleing", you will be guilty of tricking people into installing Chrome. And it will be tricking people. Some people will not read the question and will just assume that it is a part of the installation process of Avast and will tick "yes".

Whoaaa!!! I have never seen someone place words in someone else's mouth as nasty as this comment. A few things:
1) How sure are you that this is the intention of Avast? What a lame excuse albeit an alibi to flame about the Google Chrome inclusion.
2) People SHOULD ALWAYS READ what is on their screens before they do anything.
Sorry Trevor but I find your comment really downgrading of people who use the web. In the first place, in case it NEVER OCCURRED TO YOU, people should be reading what is on their screens. Now if you are one of those that doesn't read them because of being too lazy, then by all means don't pass the blame to Avast. Duh!!! As I kept saying, laziness and too much paranoia causes a lot of problems. Of course it is the fault of the one installing as she/he should be AWARE of what he is doing. If people get unwanted toolbars into their browsers because they were not reading, IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE COMPANY if they have been reading carefully.
People should be more responsible of their choices and their internet habits instead of blaming others for their issues. What a lousy way to gripe about Chrome.
By the way, Trevor, do give some slack to some web users. We are more intelligent than you make it sound in your comment. If others are not that careful, THAT IS THEIR PROBLEM, not Avast.
It is almost New Year, perhaps time for you to re-evaluate your surfing and net habits.
سلام خسته نباشید خدمت مهندسی محترم
برانامه ای خوبی در این سایت هست که میتونیم استفاده کنیم ایا اینها نسخه اصلی هست یا نسخه های مجانی با مدت محدود
this option is welcomed!!!
its great to have a browser like chrome easily installed along with the avast
Two of the best Softwares in their field bundled!
now that is wonderful!!
and after install they tell how surf to braeth and to eat and have never to do anything and NEVER to think anything o_O
I personally use Firefox, myself, but I also have chrome installed. And I have an add-ons pack ( Look up "TheDudeWithTude" on the firefox add ons search) installed that I made that makes firefox look exactly like chrome.
And when I say exactly, I mean EXACTLY like chrome.
I am already a Google Chrome user....I just removed AVG and installed Avast. My first time on the internet this morning and I am getting a message that "Avast added an extension that MAY CHANGE THE WAY CHROME WORKS....it can: READ AND CHANGE ALL YOUR DATA ON THE WEBSITES YOU VISIT." I don't know if I WANT all the data changed on the websites I visit. There is an option to "ENABLE EXTENSION" or to "REMOVE FROM CHROME" What should I do??

with Labrador Tea, the most powerful antioxidant
Lise Watier debuts its newest lipstick, Rouge Fondant Suprême, with the Exclusive Concentrated Labrador Tea Extract, the same extract found in their top selling Age Control Supreme skincare line! The new lipsticks are incredible! Featuring an unparalleled comfort and a sensation that's almost undetectable, it's a lipstick designed to glide on the lips and leave them incredibly soft and luminous.
With 12 amazing new shades ranging from very neutral to very vibrant, there's a shade to suit any mood or skin tone. With the addition of the Exclusive Concentrated Labrador Tea Extract, the lipsticks have incredible moisturizing and antioxidant properties for an ultra- comfortable wear that give your makeup products the incredible power of a skincare. I love the high shine, mirror like finish these products give to your lips! Great for day or night, the shine allows you to skip the step of a gloss but still have a lustrous pout.
What is extra fun about these lipsticks is that each shade was inspired by famous beauty icons both past and present. Lise Watier gives you the option to channel your inner Marilyn when feeling bold and sassy or perhaps choose a nude like Jennifer when you're going for more of a laid back beauty. You could feel like a different super star every day!
Lipstick goes way back in history as being one of the first make up products ever created. We all love lipstick, and rarely leave the house without at least one in our purse! There's just something about a great new tube of it that makes you feel great. It can completely perk up your day through that extra little bit of confidence you feel with it on!
Spring is a great time to try out a new colour and remember what I always say: It's just lipstick! If you don't love it, just wipe it off and start again! There is no risk in playing with a new rock-on shade, but you could end up being big reward when you find a color that works for you!
Have a Beauty-Full Day,
Chelsea Chute
Lise Watier Cosmetics Regional Trainer
If you have had any reservations about cream eye shadows in the past (I personally had always been skeptical of cream shadows) OMBRE SOUFFLÉ SUPRÊME will change all of that! Let me explain:
The texture is like no other, a whipped, airy mousse with incredible pigment payoff and shine. The light-as-air feeling makes them a pleasure to work with. One little touch and you'll see right away how unique and beautiful this product really is!
Many of us usually avoid cream shadows for fear that they'll crease and disappear in minutes. OMBRE SOUFFLÉ SUPRÊME is definitely not a cream eyeshadow! The mousse has such an incredible staying power, there's no need to worry about creasing!
OMBRE SOUFFLÉ SUPRÊME is an absolute ideal eyeshadow, no matter your age or eye-shape! The best part of this texture: we can add amazing ingredients to give your eye-makeup the power of a skincare, the formula contains our exclusive concentrated Labrador Tea extract for great anti-aging benefits, and you might be familiar with the amazing benefits of Labrador Tea from our best-selling AGE CONTROL SUPREME skincare range. Finally, the perfect way to ensure women of all ages have some fun when it comes to eye makeup; for those of you who've usually avoided shimmering powder shadows because of how they accentuate the lines on your eyelids, OMBRE SOUFFLÉ SUPRÊME is an absolute must try!

Kayle Build Guide by nemesisfaust
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Kayle Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
Most Kayle Builds focus into AB and AS, around 135 attack power with near 250 ability power.
Another 20-40% attack speed at average of 32% attack speed, on other builds. This build is similar to a Karthas AB Angle Staff Build. Where you charge in and waist as many as you can, then if you die you then do 3 sec of damage to any near by remaining enemy champions then popping your ult to finish any remainders, allowing Karthas to 1v4, nearly 1v5 if minions are around.
However, Kayle has a damage immunity ult ULT. So with nearly 450 ability power over the standard Kayle's heal is already drastically increased, oppose to standard 150-200. Allowing healing aid to self or others.
when patch is finished, Kayle is suppose to recieve a contribution of ability power to attack power once again for hybrid builds. lets say they give 20% oppose to her previous 50% in age of old before she got nerfed.
other builds gain 50 attack power, this build gains 90 attack power.
resulting differance.
other builds: 185 attack power, 250 ability power, w + 32% attack speed avg bonus.
this build: 340 attack power, 450 ability power, w/o 32% attack speed avg bonus.
55% more attack power, 55% more ability power.
minus the average attack speed bonus of other specs.
if your build has 52% attack speed or less, this build still carries 23% more damage or greater depending on your level of attack speed.
20% more damage, and making a valuable use of heal oppose to just a temporary burst movement.
Also CD runes and spec, your ULT should be near a 35sec CD. Nearly allowing 2 uses per min.
Its highly recommended to use a few healing potions, till blessing is strong other wise you are taking a mismanagement of mana use early game trying to heal before your ability power is started. so blessing does not become useful till lvl 10, or until the deathcap is complete.

Check out the latest review for MageSign posted at Horrorscope – The Australian Dark Fiction Web Log. If you remember, they reviewed RealmShift a couple of weeks ago.
It's a good review, very thorough and honest. The best thing is that the reviewer decided that MageSign was an improvement on RealmShift and gave it 4 out of 5, which is always satisfying. If I can improve my craft with every book I write, I'll be very happy.

A lot of sneakerheads have some little sneakerheads in training running around the house, and it's never a bad idea to get them started young. Jordan Brand is hoping to get the youngsters hooked early and this cool new package is a good start. For starters it contains a pre-school sized Air Jordan 1-based shoe with black/white/red patent leather uppers and a no-lace elastic design for easy on/off. The best part though, is that the mini-kicks come in a super-cool black lunch box with a cartoon Air Jordan illustration and an Elephant print handle. On behalf of the older sneakerheads, let us just say 'where was this stuff when we were kids?' You can make up for it by hooking up the pre-schoolers in your life by picking up a pair at FinishLine. Thanks to Rob for the info.

Stanley Cup Final Preview: Sharks and Penguins
(Originally published at Sports Radio Service)
In their first appearance in the Stanley Cup Final, the San Jose Sharks are in a good position to win, and so are the Pittsburgh Penguins. Not surprisingly, the two teams accumulated were very similar numbers on their way to the Final. Perhaps those are just the kind of numbers winners needed this year. Perhaps they are as irrelevant as statistics from the regular season. The Sharks and the Penguins could play each other four times or seven times, and it won't add up to the number of games they played getting here. Games, and by association the series, can still be won or lost on a bounce. Either team could have trouble adjusting to a new sort of opponent, a heretofore unseen weakness could be exposed. This is why they play the games, because the NHL can't award the championship based on past performance. Still, the likeness is uncanny. (more…)
Sharks Win Western Conference Final 4-2
(Originally published at Sports Radio Service)
SAN JOSE– The San Jose Sharks punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday, by defeating the St. Louis Blues 5-2 in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final. The 4-2 series win represents the first time the Sharks have prevailed in a conference final, the first time they will compete for the Cup. (more…)
Blues Turn Tables On Sharks, Tie Series With 6-3 Win
(Originally published at Sports Radio Service)
SAN JOSE-Saturday's Game 4 of the NHL's Western Conference Finals was a complete reversal of Thursday's 4-0 victory for San Jose. The St. Louis Blues tied the series 2-2 with a 6-3 victory, beating the San Jose Sharks in all three zones. The Blues' power play went 2-4 while the Sharks' power play went 0-4. Troy Brouwer and Kyle Brodziak each scored two goals for the Blues, with Jori Lehtera and Alex Pientrangelo adding to the tally. For the Sharks, Joe Pavelski, Chris Tierney and Melker Karlsson scored. (more…)
Sharks Shut Out Blues Again, Take 2-1 Series Lead
(Originally published at Sports Radio Service)
SAN JOSE– The San Jose Sharks took a 2-1 series lead over the St. Louis Blues with a 3-0 victory in San Jose. It was the first time that the Sharks had two consecutive shutouts in the playoffs, and the first time in a Conference Final. Though the Sharks looked unsteady in the first few minutes of the game, they made the most of their chances and limited the Blues to not very good ones. (more…)
Sharks and Blues: Western Conference Final Preview
(Originally published at Sports Radio Service)
The Western Conference Final is upon us. Past results reveal that the San Jose Sharks and the St. Louis Blues have followed very similar paths to this point, and neither team is a clear choice for favorite. Even intangibles cannot give us a hint. Both San Jose and St. Louis are hungry for success. The Sharks have never made it to the Stanley Cup Final, and the Blues have not been there since 1970. They both unseated recent Cup winners in the first round. They both defeated up and coming teams in the second round, by the a five goal margin, in the seventh game. The likeness is uncanny, and utterly proper. The final teams in the Stanley Cup playoffs should be equals, it is only right that the results be entirely unpredictable. The results of the Stanley Cup Final could be easier to predict, especially with the Eastern teams taking such heavy casualties after just one game. I predict that the Western team will win the Cup, and that team will be from a city named after a saint. (more…)
Sharks Thump Preds 5-1
(Originally published at Sports Radio Service)
SAN JOSE–The San Jose Sharks roundly defeated the Nashville Predators by a score of 5-1 on Saturday. Most of the games in this series, including the triple overtime Game 4, have been much closer than that. On Saturday, it certainly seemed that the Sharks had no interest in any more overtime. They kept playing right up to the final horn.
Two goals came from Joe Pavelski, one from Melker Karlsson, one from Logan Couture and one from Patrick Marleau. Joonas Donskoi and Justin Braun each had two assists and Maetin Jones made 24 saves on 25 shots. The lone Nashville goal was scored by Mike Fisher, while Pekka Rinne made 23 saves on 27 shots.

Sharks Hang On To Beat Predators 3-2, Take 2-0 Series Lead
(Originally published at Sports Radio Service)
SAN JOSE–The San Jose Sharks took a 2-0 series lead with a 3-2 victory against the Nashville Predators. Four of the goals were scored in the second half of the third, three of those in the final three minutes. It was not the Sharks' best game, defensively or offensively, but it got the job done. After the game, Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer said as much: (more…)

1/15 Movie Trip: "13 Hours" and Oscar Nominations
Our movie critic Paul McGuire Grimes from the website "Paul's Trip to the Movies" reveals if the new action flick "13 Hours" is worth the trip. Plus, he shares a few of his snubs and surprises from the Oscar Nominations.
1. Best Supporting Actor nomination-Tom Hardy (The Revenant). He would have my vote to win if I was a member of the Academy.
2. Best Supporting Actress- Rachel McAdams (Spotlight) Such a strong ensemble. Glad to see the subtle/nuanced performances from her and Mark Ruffalo acknowledged.
3. No nomination for the song "See You Again" from Furious 7 by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth. Big Top 40 hit and sentimental song dedicated to the late Paul Walker. Many expected this to be nominated.
1.Carol – No nominations for Best Picture or Todd Haynes for Best Director
2.Ridley Scott no nomination for Best Director (The Martian) Many had predicted he would win the category. Reminds me of the Ben Affleck/Argo fiasco.
3.Aaron Sorkin- no nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay (Steve Jobs)
