Ads popping up in Avast Taskbar pop up, the kind you see when you get updates.

You can hardly call it an ad as they aren't trying to sell anything, it is a mix of security awareness (how to spot a scam) and a competition to win a chromebook.

Now I won't be entering as I have no need for a chromebook and generally I can spot a scam from a long distance. But there are some who might well be happy to have a chromebook and or benefit from how to spot a scam.

For those that aren't interested, just let the toaster popup close.

Note: Using the show last pop-up won't work as it will show the avast update notification screen, you have to capture it fast before it closes.

Well as long as I know my Avast is fine, it won't bother me.

Hi all,

yes I can confirm this is official and legitimate. Just a competition to win a Chromebook. You should see it just twice at maximum during this week.
