Avast Antivirus just hit a new low in misleading users. After installation Avast is showing the following dialog which tries to scam users to click Continue and install Chrome and set is as a default browser. Is Poople is paying them for this?

Avast has always been more like malware than anti-malware, but this was a rock bottom even for them.
