Hi,
Having exhausted all other modalities, I took a chance and deleted Avast
, then downloaded it again while carefully unchecking the 2 Chrome
boxes. Nevertheless, the Chrome files either returned or stayed,as they
are still there. Now attempts at deletion lead to "access denied". It
seems, from the file names, that the Avast and Chrome files are
intertwined.
I give up,.
Thanks for all the advice.

Hi,
Updating Avast inadvertently downloaded Google Chrome to my H.D.,
(running Windows XP, SP-3). Now, I cannot delete it. It does not show up
on the list of programs in control panel's section on programs, yet it
is there with a H.D. search. Each time that I attempt toa delete it, I
get a message on screen that it cannot be deleted.
How can I actually delete it from my H.D.?
Any help will be appreciated.

That pesky Avast.
You just clicked too fast. When AVAST reboots it says do you want to
install Chrome in a small check box. If your watching you will catch
it and uncheck it before it installs.
Not sure what to do now since I have always uncheked it. Have you
tried to uninstall AVAST then try to install again and uncheck the
install chrome box on the reboot?
Have you googled "uninstall chrome installed when installing AVAST" or
something like that?
On this page:
http://www.ghacks.net/2012/02/26/avast-7-will-install-google-chrome-if-you-do-not-pay-attention/
It's written:
If you have installed Google's browser by accident, you can uninstall it
again via the uninstall a program control panel applet. You also need to
open another browser to make that one the default system browser again.
Note: This is not a good idea to remove some stuff of a program, because
the uninstall program may not work due to the non presence of those
removed files.
