I have been using Avast! Free Edition for a very long time, it has always kept malware off my systems without impacting the performance of the systems, but since a few updates ago there appears to be an annoying issue I am having with it. I will be browsing Reddit or Youtube, or something else, and open a video in a new tab, or not, or just be sitting there reading, when all of the sudden, a new tab opens to an Avast! upgrade prompt page, like this:
I have been putting up with this for quite some time, and it was bearable until it would start opening Google Chrome by itself automaticly at random times
just to take me to the upgrade page while I was doing other things. If I am playing a video game(which I do a lot) it minimizes the game and this, is very annoying.(it does this even when gaming/silent mode is enabled)
There are also notifications that prompt me to upgrade, these are not so annoying, but until a couple of patches ago, you could disable them. Now I see no option to disable them in settings.
TD;DL: I want these upgrade prompts to stop, how do I disable them?
