I'm new to Avast and am trying out the free home version. It's been recommended since I use Firefox and Thunderbird, not Outlook.
Anyway, when I first intalled Avast, I'd get popup messages on the bottom right of my screen for every web page and every time my email checks for new mail.
I don't understand how to turn the notificaitons off, while having the scanning still happen. I've played with the settings and they are now off, but I'm not sure what I did.
Looked through the forums some too and I didn't see an answer, even though I'm sure it's been discussed before.
Thanks.
