said by poppster:So you can't un click "install chrome" during installation? If people would just watch what they are clicking during installs this wouldn't happen.
wow, thats the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
If people would read anything more carefully, not an issue, I guess. For example, if you had read my post carefully, you would have noted that Avast! didn't wait for you to confirm. If you, say, went to grab a coffee while your system was re-booted, then you got Chrome. In many cases, destroying your existing installation of it.
If you're ok with software companies doing that type of thing, great. I'm not. And for now, coupled with a buggy program version, Avast! has no place on any of my systems. If you're happy with it, super.
