Google’s Chrome browser is now bundled with installations of Avast antivirus software.

“When users run the Avast installer on a computer that has neither Chrome nor Avast, they’ll be offered a chance to install Chrome simultaneously,” writes CNET’s Seth Rosenblatt. “This is the first such bundling for Avast in its 21-year existence.”

“The Avast/Chrome combo may strike some as an odd couple, or at least more beneficial for Avast than for Chrome, but keep in mind that Avast has more than double the users that Chrome does,” Rosenblatt adds.
