This was reported to Avast awhile back and still not fixed. The Google Chrome that comes bundled with other software is different than the Google Chrome that you download from Google's website.

1. It installs in Program Files instead of Users AppData.
2. It includes URL tracking letting Google know from which software bundle it was included with.

Enjoy!! :D

This is the main reason I choose the Custom installation options, helps to avoid all the crap avast! are promoting using the so-called "Tools".
