Hi,

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

J., does the known bug include the forced download of Chrome and its
destructive effects upon my hard drive? Will that also stop? Aside form
the Chrome problem, I was happy with Avast.

I use an older version of Avast and haven't encountered the forced download of Chrome but it is a topic of conversation in the alt.windows7.general newsgroup. I haven't updated my virus database since people started having this problem.

One reply suggested trying this:

"If you open Avast user interface and go to settings/troubleshooting there is a box "Do not use Chrome as Avast default browser". Check that box."

This seems to work for some users but not all of them?

Another reply suggested changing the Update to "Manual" for both the Virus Database and Program also under Settings.

Another reply says the box to uncheck installing Chrome goes by pretty quickly.

You could try an older version but I've never used the following web page for that:
