Avast popping up with random reminders every time I visit google.com.

Not a warning, just a friendly little ad or reminder of a feature, is this normal behavior?

Hi EmoHobo :)

I have really no idea what you are talking about.
Can you provide a screenshot of such a pop-up ?

I actually can't get it to happen after the update.

Are you sure it is avast ?

Just a guess...
You need to fill in a captcha...
If so, that is caused by a wrong detection from Google.
If you read the message it clearly says why it is showed to you.
