How to disable advertisements in Avast! Internet Security?
« on: August 12, 2014, 05:13:14 PM »
I have Avast! Internet Security (the paid version) and get this popup about once a day:



It's really frustrating to be bothered by advertisements (this is not the only popup I'm getting) by a program I paid good money for.

Is there any way to turn off the advertisements?

Thank you both so much! I've unchecked both of those boxes and am hopeful the never-ending popups will stop!

Thanks again  :)
