I usually check that site for CC updates once every months and this is the first time that this happened to me.
I had no choice; it was just there! My normal procedure is to click on updates in the piriform website which then brings me to FileHippo for the download.
I don't really know on which site I actually was given the chrome download. Unlike some other people I was able to uninstall chrome without substantially changing my registry to the point where there were Operating system problems.
But many people have complained that uninstalling the unwanted browser has done a job on their computers. Thanks again, ranger Posted 21 December - PM Does anyone know when Piriform started bundling chrome with its own downloads?
No idea. I didn't know they did before I read your thread. Have you ever tried Chrome? It's actually a good browser.

Please consider this thread closed and I apologize for wasting everyone's time. Posted 21 December - PM Just to show you that all these companies are doing this and you really have to pay attention when you're downloading anything, I was just downloading the new version of Adobe Shockwave and for the first time ever they are trying to foist Norton on us.
Actually, a free Norton scan has been bundled with Shockwave for a while now. It is somewhat annoying to have to decline Norton everytime I install it on a computer at work.
