A question
« on: September 17, 2014, 02:35:52 PM »
So i just got a pop up that says "Be invisible on any website. Always connect with SecureLine VPN" and theres a button that says "make me invisible now". Is this something to be worried about? Is it a virus or what the hell is this?

This is an ad for Avast Secureline VPN. If you tweak the Avast popup settings a bit you will get almost popups from Avast

So this is a normal thing? I was worried there for a moment.

This type of pop-up usually happen whenever avast sends out a vps update.
I have mine set to "not" show pop-ups when there is a vps update.

GUI>Settings>Update>scroll down to "Details">untick "show notification after update".  :)
