Title: Constant popups about re-newing subscriptions
Post by: diamondpumpkin1 on February 05, 2020, 05:12:05 AM

I've had avast for years, just started paying for it a year ago. Now that my subscription is about to expire I'm getting constant popups about renewing it. I have silent alerts enabled and 'Allow us to show our products' disabled. It pops up about twice an hour, even if I'm in a full screen application, such as a game. This predatory crap is something I really don't like about Avast. It's detection is good, demonstrated by ThePCSecurity Channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km4aKjA2T_c). But I'm not going to renew my subscription, not until this predatory marketing is removed from the product.

I concur to this. I also get constant pop ups, and I'm set for automatic removal - so it should be unnecessary. It is very intrusive, and I will not remove my subscription
