Avast Installs Chrome
Renegade:
I just noticed now that it ALSO installs "Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer". I'd never have noticed that if I'd not gone to uninstall a piece of software in the VM. Sigh...

Direct download:
http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe
If the link doesn't work just go to www.avast.com, click Support and then look at the Downloads section (bottom left).

@Carol - The direct link you furnished works fine. (And thx for sharing that. :))
But I wonder how much longer it's going to remain up. ;D
Because if you go to the Avast webpages, all the links you will find (or at least I could find) just direct you back to download,com (aka CNET) for the free version.

Looks like Avast has cut a deal with CNET. :-\

Good. I'm not blind then. I'd looked for a direct download, but only saw the link to CNET. I gave up after a bit & just went to CNET. I'd figured with their last fiasco that they'd smartened up a bit and would continue in kind. Guess not.
If it's free, YOU are the product. :o

The link still works for me from the website
Go to www.avast.com
Click Support
Under Order & Renewals at the bottom click on "Software Installation Files"
and there is a link to the free version from the Avast servers (the link I posted earlier).

Found it on this page:

The page before it was:

Quite well hidden!
