The text and the box is very small and yes, of course people are in a hurry. It is deliberately deceptive and divisive. To any reasonable person this is, to all intents, installation by stealth and nothing but. There is no excuse for it.

Exactly. Those bundled offers are by design deceptive. When I buy a car I don't expect to be receiving a gym membership because it's written in the small prints of my purchasing contract.

Or you could try the uninstall utility: https://www.avast.com/en-us/uninstall-utility

That's what I did in the end since there was no other way. Seems to have done the job, I can't see anymore traces of Avast, even in the registry.

Still, I don't see a box to opt out in the customize menu of CCleaner. If you don't opt out on the first window, you're screwed.

There was absolutely no box regarding Avast when I upgraded CCleaner. I'm not blind, I'd have seen it, esp. since I always choose the Customize option just above. And now I can't even uninstall it because it's not in the list of installed app! But the Avast folders are there in C:\Program Files and in C:\ProgramData How do I get rid of that unwanted program now?? This is a disgusting tactic to force unwanted apps on users, shame on you.
