Thanks Bob, that got rid of of the flipping adds, which should have been off as default.  I guess they took the block all-rubbish-button out of the final release.  I would have to reinstall to get rid of all that I guess.
Avast had better be careful, they are going to start losing a lot of custom over this.

I have 109 days left on my present subscription.  If Avast don't get their act together by the time that 109 days is up, then I will find a virus package that does it's job without the harassment.

The it is always trying to remove what is not Avast's stuff or commercial friend.  Like Google or wolfram mathematica.  But they try to suggest Yahoo and the lousy  Bing search bar. Why?
They are asking for money all the time.

I dont feel too much secure with that  security software.
