Antivirus company recommends using Google Ch

It looks like the older browsers on the block (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) are being passed up for safety. Recent editions of a popular antivirus software, Avast, are coming bundled with Google's Chrome web browser.

Now, when users go to install the popular Avast Antivirus, they will be offered the chance to install a new browser with it, Chrome. Although there isn't much talk from either Avast! or Google of Chrome being chosen as a bundled software for its safety, the consensus is that the browser is safer than its alternatives. According to certain hackers, "There are bugs in Chrome but they’re very hard to exploit" compared to other browsers.

So is this a way to offer users a less infection-prone browsing experience? Or is it a stunt by Google to simply get their Chrome browser in front of more eyes? It doesn't seem to matter, as everyone wins in either situation.
