Why do pages open random?

I installed avast yesterday in the hopes it would stop random pages from opening when im on google chrome. I have been into settings-on start up-Open a specific page or set of pages-done that-Search-cleared manage search engine(it is just set as google)-advanced settings-cleared browsing data-and cleared my browser settings.Then re-started my pc. Why isn't avast stopping these pop ups?

Avast is an anti-virus program designed to protect your computer from becoming infected by malware. What you are describing is not a "pop up", which is an advertisement which pops up on your screen or page after it loads completely. In order to stop this type of pop up, install an ad blocker.

SOURCE: Google gmail problem.

Just go to gmail directly http://www.gmail.com, you should get a screen where you can sign in on the right side.  You can use this more complicated link, that has been "shrunk"  http://tinyurl.com/5sqzhe 

Cut and paste either of these links into your browser.   If you don't get a screen that looks like the one attached, something is very wrong.

How do I remove google chrome app launcher?

its a glitch in Google Chromes latest update. just uninstall Chrome remove all its registry keys and left over folders. restart your computer.
then use Internet Explorer only then go to https://chrome.google.com click the download and follow the instructions. The app launcher will not install onto your desktop, but will open to the app launcher page when you open Chrome.
that too can be removed also bu going into settings "Open a specific page or set of pages. Set Pages" click on set pages and add new page to about:blank or to whatever page you want Chrome to open to. then click save. and that is it no more app page.
once i did this Chrome opens a lot faster.

The best practice would be to use the orignal installation for Avast antivirus to install the extension. If there is no option to install it seperately, you can try to uninstall the whole antivirus and install it again.
