So I guess I'll just leave them out for now and see if something gets resolved in some or the other new updated / installer release (unless of course somebody out there has more ideas as to why this is happening / not happening). Add avast browser extension chrome install#As I noted: I'm loathe to install extensions especially when such extensions are supposed to be being installed by the installers themselves. No idea really but this would make sense (to me anyway). ![]() In other words: MAYBE if an older installer was used to install these components then they would be fine and present but the very latest installer is not installing them correctly. neither the SafePrice browser extension nor the Security browser extension are being installed / added to Chrome upon a new and clean install. This tells me that quite possibly this is not as "fixed" as Avast would like to think i.e. ![]() Add avast browser extension chrome update#In the thread the following is listed as "fixed": " SafePrice browser extension component is not installed during update when Browser extension was not installed in the previous version". That's a link to the "NEW August versions: 2280" thread. One thing that "gives me hope" here is this: Add avast browser extension chrome pro#Yeh I know: one could use something like Revo Uninstaller (to clear ALL "left overs" after uninstalling software) but this got me into some "deep water" three weeks ago when removing software (and if the truth be told it's but one of the reasons why I ended up re-installing Windows 7 Pro etc. Add avast browser extension chrome manual#After I re-installed Chrome but before re-installing Avast Free! Edition again Avast's Security browser extension was still present from my manual adding of it prior to all of this (I removed it before re-installing Avast! Free Edition again but just saying). No surprise here of course but after uninstalling both there sure is a lot of stuff "left over". no Avast! Free Edition extensions appearing in Chrome at all (but according to Avast! Free Edition components tab they are indeed all installed as there is an uninstall option presented for all). Uninstalled Avast! Free Edition, uninstalled Chrome, downloaded offline installers for both (yet again to ensure that both were up-to-date), re-installed Chrome, re-installed Avast! Free Edition, no change at all unfortunately i.e. The above being said and following your advice: this is a (very!!!) clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64bit with nothing other than Chrome and Avast! Free Edition installed (I've not even begun to install software) (and have ensured, after many many many hours thanks to MS, that all MS updates are installed). I'm not entirely sure that I agree that my system is "messy" i.e. In other words: I don't see a seperate folder for "Chrome" (for example) There is a folder called "Webrep" and inside that folder are two folders name "FF" (Firefox?) and "IE" (Internet Explorer?). I'm not sure if this means anything but I just took a look in the \Avast Software\Avast folder. Very, very, confused and, of course, wondering if this new / clean install is indeed protected. What's also very odd is that both extensions are showing in the Components tab and both offer the Uninstall Component option (so I have to assume that they are indeed installed but nevertheless neither extension was added to Chrome by the installer). I've been using Avast! Free Edition for many years and I don't ever recall having to visit the Chrome Web Store to add Avast! extensions to Chrome as they were always added by the installer. Has something changed very recently insofar as the installation of Avast! Free Edition is concerned that I'm not aware of i.e. The only way to add the extensions to Chrome is via the Chrome Web Store. Specifically: neither the "Security browser extension" nor the "Safeprice browser extension" are being added to Chrome by the installer (and I've tried both the online and offline installer as well as tried the repair option). However: none of the Avast! extensions are being added to Chrome by the installer. Just installed Avast! Free Edition on a new and clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
