Title: How to disable Avast One notifications when emptying trash (with apps in trash)?
Post by: devonhub on March 30, 2023, 07:43:42 PM
After installing Avast One, a new Avast notification appears every time I delete an application and select 'Empty Trash'. 
Avast displays a notification window in the upper right of the main display titled, "Avast One", and the text, "Want to thoroughly delete YYY?"
I am a Mac developer and I routinely delete built apps, test apps, etc.  This new notification is super annoying.
Previous Avast versions did not have this annoying dialog. So far, I have been unable to find a preferences that disables/enables this annoying notification.
Does anyone know how to disable this?   Maybe a hidden 'defaults write' setting?  thanks

Hello devonhub,

The notification should not appear if you are in Do Not Disturb mode. Alternatively we do have a hidden setting that should do the trick.

defaults write com.avast.AA1M notifications.disabled -array appUninstaller.appMovedToBin

Kind regards,

Jakub

I completely forgot to reply to this post and thank you for the defaults write command.  That did the trick.

Thank you, Jakub!
