I agree with SlyCooperFan 1. Can we/Do we have a TOGGLE OPTION for renewal notifications?
I recently dealt with the renewal pop-ups (paid version AIS), and I HATED it! Especially since the renewed license is good from the day purchased, not the day activated... so you're left with that annoying pop-up regardless?! (Please correct me if I am wrong/if there is a way around this.)
I too would really appreciate the option to toggle renewal notifications... Like ONCE one month in advance, ONCE one fortnight in advance, ONCE one week in advance, and perhaps every update for the last two days before expiration. That would be adequate for me, anyhow.
If I knew anyone using avast! free, I'd ask them how long till their expiration; the only free AVs my acquaintances use is avg/mse, otherwise we have paid for AIS.
I have been a BIG fan of avast! for a long time, and I truly hope that company changes will keep in mind that we are not just (potentially paying) consumers, but people - People who don't appreciate Pavlovian gimmicks, and are possibly more pliable when not 'hounded' (pun intended).
I post this here, knowing that it might not get back to the developers... but if it does, let my voice be added to this song; and if it doesn't, I'll post again on this topic the next time it directly affects me, several months in the future...

P.S. I would also appreciate the pop-up being "avast!-orange" rather than ALARM-RED, so that when I see it out of the corner of my eye, I know it is an urgent 'friendly reminder', as opposed to an alert of something amiss, as the RED suggests. It's momentarily unnerving.
