Missing popup after update to avast 2015 free version.  Also the software updater takes you directly to the webpages instead of doing it the old way.  How can these issues be fixed?
The notification has been discontinued in Avast 2015
The following small video explains why:

To Avast team and developers,

Since the release of Avast 2015 the automatic VPS update notification has been discontinued by you in which I don't have anything against it. It was your choice and as always continue to make a better product and you all are sure that's it's good business :). Reasons that I am writing this is that as of late users continue to write in this forum about why avast not showing the VPS update notification too many times and we have to tell them that it's has been discontinued. Even though that setting shows up in the Avast settings menu and users will get confused even though the settings are correct and why isn't it working!

In the next Avast 2015 update possibly SP2 (if it will be released) or Avast 2016 it will be very appreciated if you could totally remove the settings that are related to VPS update notification! Thanks.

Keep up the good work you are doing  :)

Isn't it this one. Automatic update when VPS update happens when the VPS update notification comes up! Setting under voice over like vps update happens and a female voice occurs

That's the one.  :-[  Totally overlooked the top "General" settings button.
I agree with you. If it's no longer used, get rid of the confusion.
Maybe it's coming back ???

@bob3160 and schmidthouse: You two need eyeglasses lol.... just kidding. I have a question? How many antivirus (excluding MSE) at present shows a notification that it's malware definitions has been updated? If none of them does, I think avast is following it. Just a thought. I think McAfee and Trend Micro still shows a notification that it's malware definition has been updated.

You might want to do a search for Browser Cleanup.  It has messed up a lot of people's computer's.  Supposedly it has been fixed.  I haven't used it myself.  I went to control panel, right clicked on Avast, clicked change and unchecked Browser Cleanup.

I personally don't have a clue. Don't use anything except Avast. :)

Good on you bob3160  :). I used McAfee, Trend Micro, MSE, Panda Cloud Antivirus Free, Windows Live One Care, Norton, and AVG. Finally I made my final decision to move to Avast when it released it's version 7 and AVG Free on my desktop. AVG Free has also improved just like Avast.

Hi, some users tell me that Avast Premium Firewall is compatible with Windows 7 Firewall and some users tell me that they are not compatible, which is correct?

Thanks

The advice is very simple. You use one or the other not both. Just like your resident AV, you should only use one.
