That ad in the GUI has always been there but i never see it because i have the GUI dragged in to as small as i can make it which hides the ad.

Yeah, like craigb said, re-size the UI and you will never see it.

Do not look to ways to block it please.  The more people that block the UI ad, the more Avast! will look to other ways to make you see their product offerings......like pop-ups.

That has been there since avast5, it is unobtrusive and I probably have my avastUI open more than most as I use it for reference images when helping other users.

But it is never open at the default Summary page once opened I have it A) as small a size as it will go and B) on the Maintenance tab.

The unobtrusive ad is the cost of the free product.

It's all Alwil's fault because they made the Avast GUI so damned attractive. ;D
