I am pretty sure you're thinking the same thing I am...

Spoiler: What I am thinking

Money here... Money there... (Avast adding support for installing Skype)

Well Avast has mostly free users (Avast Free Antivirus) so they need to get money for about 234 Million users plus servers, hardware, employees, Headquarter and more.

Somewhere they need to get that money from.

Then, we cannot blame the bundled installers and their providers

And they clearly show you that theyre gonna install this software, if youre opening your eyes while installing it of course.

All AV vendors do this on their installers.

Not all bundle some software with their AV, theres just one free AV that has no bundleware.

I mean, all vendors let the users know about the bundled softwares on their installers
