Pay attention during installation to avoid Google Drive unless you require it.

Updated with no sign of Google Drive so must be for new installs only.

    I've had to reinstall my Avast and the biggest thing to note is the new UI. I'm not sure about it, but it seems to work in exactly the same manner.

    I did notice the Google stuff in there but paid attention when installing to avoid it.

    Is it optimised for windows 8? I had to inhibit previous version of AVAST because it clashed with my NAS drive with Win 8.
    Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc
