I happen to like Avast's free antivirus software, and MalwareBytes. They both work well enough for me, and I have installed them on well over 100 computers I have built for folks over the past 3 years.
Do you know if Avast has changed it's installing ways? I tried Avast about 3 weeks ago and I sure did not like the way the install tried to force me into installing Chrome and also IIRC made something search engine stuff and Avast changed my Firefox experience too.
