Thanks fink, for the info. I've always pretty much liked Avast also. Chrome has really been really hitting me hard
with po-ups lately. I'm going to uninstall & reinstall Chrome to see if I can get it squared away. I use Google mike & also have a couple of emails with same. If it were not for that, I would probably dump them entirely. Seems like they've got to big for their britches. It used to be that it was just Google. But now when you want to just go with Google, your'e stuck with Chrome also..............
