Avast popup ads driving me nuts

[Para-Noid]

@ AlanHK  It is a known bug which should be fixed in the next refresh.
                 You are not the first to complain about it. There is/was an
                 entire thread devoted to this one issue. Like I stated before
                 right pop-up...wrong wording.

i absolutely hate SPAM

Spam?  You use a product that real people have to make and update, but you use it for free, and you call the occasional ads "spam?"

Sheesh, the entitlement of some people...

i can live with ads in the interface. but i don't want to see them "outside" the interface when i'm not explicitly doing anything with it

My advice is to limit the duration of the pop-ups
as I showed how above.

GUI>Settings>Appearance>Pop-Ups>set to as low as one second.

Unfortunately limiting the duration won't make a blind bit of difference as one of the symptoms of the screwed up update notifications is the duration function doesn't work either. Along with the Tip/Ads popup instead of update notification popup and no voice over.

The only way to deal with it as has been mentioned in many topics is:
These tips popups have in the past been piggybacked with the auto update update notification, so the only way to get rid of them would be to disable the auto update notification, which if you want the update notification (when it works correctly) would remove everything.

avastUI > Settings > Update - scroll down to Details and uncheck the 'Show notification box after automatic update.'

@ Coffee addict
I think this is a happy coincidence as I have had these options unchecked for some considerable time in avast and it doesn't stop the screwed up auto update bug.

thanks. i just did this. we'll see how it goes...

Again...it's a known bug!

I doesn't matter what you have your settings on it will still happen.
This should be fixed with the next refresh!
