Just a little note about Avast and the Avast browser cleaner.

To whom it may concern? Avast hast included browser jacking as part of their pack for the browser cleanup. If used it will browser jack browsers like chrome with a bing or yahoo search. Recommended cure. Uninstall Avast and manaully cleanup your browsers. I consider it malware even tho its something that avast is doing.
 
Its a shame too, I found its boot scan useful. It doesnt show up as malware because Avast is grossly abusing its status to install it. All done inside the antivirus and its permissions.
