After being a big fan of Firefox, i have now been converted to Waterfox. If you run a 64 bit OS theres no reason not to use it IMO. At least try it.

I use it on 7 for dodgy stuff and viewing vids as it seems much mire responsive than FF. I'm going to give V_R's suggestion of Waterfox a go as he has given it such a glowing plug and it will make use of all the 64 bit goodness of me 64 bit os.

You think I'm a teller of mistruths? Well, me am not, me not telling porkies, the damn thing is an insult. As for Waterfox give it a month or so and it will attract as many virus writers as Firefox. I've always thought Firefox was overrated and it made me smile to see folks on other forums saying they used it and thought they were being dead clever. Anyhoo, this was about Avast, not browsers but nevertheless I will reiterate that I like IE8. And yes, I know IE is the virus main writers' main target but as the advisor at the STD clinic says 'Take all precautions'. And I do I quite like Opera too, use it within Mint 12 KDE but then, I'm not like everybody else. I may be wrong and ill-advised but at least I'm different, lol  PS: The last time I installed Avast, probably about six months ago, this didn't happen, this seems to be a new development. Does anybody know how rich the Google Directors are? Very rich, I'd say. |

Looks like someone over at the Avast forums had the same problem. Here are the links to how he resolved uninstalling all Chrome stuff.
