Avast has become Adware, bloatware- too many popups

Stop being such a pain in the ASS!!!!

No, I don't want mobile security, already had it.
No, I don't want you to analyze my browser plugins,
No, I don't want you to free disk space.
No, I don't want to buy your grime fighter.
No, I don't want to upgrade to premium version,
No, don't scan my computer for outdated software. 
nagging me won't make a  difference.

AND your CAPTCHA is unreadable.  the person reading slurs the words.  Did you ever hear of the international phonetic alphabet (Alfa, Bravo Foxtrot, etc.)  ????

Avast is now gradually became more and more like an adware and bloatware.  the popups increased rapidly, the bloat increased, yes we know "it is free, asswipe" but with this attitude and with competition we can just move on to another AV.   I turned off several of the tools like software updater and browser cleaner. but somehow after upgrading avast, software updater activated itself even though it is still off from setting. I thought maybe that's the first time.  then after a restart, same thing, browser cleaner analyzing my plugins.
