Hi Gerald, Normally you'll find the Google / Google Chrome checkboxes while you're on the Install button. When you're on the Install button, route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor, press the page-up key to go to the top of the page, & arrow down 1 line at a time. You'll need to uncheck the checkboxes with Numpad slach or left mouse button. Also there is a little program called Unchecky that will stop this as well. Info is below:
From: Carlos Anyone who is concerned about unintentionally installing promotional software may be interested in trying Unchecky. http://unchecky.com/ It runs in the background as a service and monitors for recognized installers. It then automatically unchecks any checkboxes related to installing toolbars, browsers, and similar unwanted products. I have not thoroughly tested the program and it is not guaranteed to catch everything, but there have already been several updates since the initial release so I'm sure it's detection rate will improve. I've used this program for quite awhile now & it works great! HTH Take care.

I could not find any check box for installing Google Chrome anywhere on the downloader interface, and I checked each page carefully with the JAWS cursor. I wound up removing it using Revo Uninstaller. If anyone else can find the elusive check box for installing Chrome, please let me knoe how to locate it so that I do not get screwed over again the next time I install a new version of CCleaner.
