It hasn't been removed, but there is certainly some sort of issue with auto update notifications for many people:
3. for some the update stays displayed for longer than the set duration.
As has been said there are several topics relating to this issue.

WRT the duration, I have looked in vain for where to set it.  So far, I haven't found it, and I find it annoying to see a popup lingering on and on and on ..  Can anyone tell me where to set it?  As far as I'm concerned, 4-5 seconds is plenty, and for routine alerts, 0-2 is more than enough.

For now, even having found it setting a duration won't have any impact until this bug is squashed. I have mine set to 2 seconds, which isn't working.

I've updated to Avast Free v2014.9.0.2007 from the GUI after having previous version 2014.9.0.2006.

I ran a quick scan today and noticed for the first time since putting on the new v2014.9.0 that scan results are not visible or are the dates of scans visible unless I'm overlooking a setting somewhere.

Is this a change with the new v2014.9.0 or is there hidden scan info perhaps only visible should you have a virus?

It may take a little time to build up history, check the avastUI > Statistics > Component status - Scans have been executed, if that shows scans then you click on that text and you should be able to check them

updated this evening to the new version and oddly there is no advertisement at the bottom of the GUI.

The only thing i will say is that the GUI could do with a bit more colours in there,but otherwise no problems.

Sorry for the delay getting back to answering you DavidR. That is the info I was looking for. I also saw Bob's YouTube video and added "Virus Chest" and "Scan History" to the opening "Status" page. So now we have two ways to see what scans have been ran and if any problems were encountered.

Change for a 73 year old man is not always easy. LOL

Just for your information, that video you referred to, was created by a 73 year old man.
