Popup Ads
« on: February 19, 2018, 09:36:58 PM »
I have Avast IS 18.1.2326 with popup ads disabled and yet today I had a popup ad about emails. Anyone else ever have this happen to you?

I don't really know because it disappeared before I could read the whole thing. But I know it was an advertisement.

I got another one today it says: Show your emails are safe. I should not be getting this pop up in a paid version of Avast with the pop up ads disabled.

I think this popup has to do with allowing Avast to add the Avast is protecting ..... signature.
I've had that one so don't know if this product related or not ???

Thank you Bob, yes that's the one I'm talking about. And yes, I have that box unchecked.

If it shows up again, please grab a screenshot. I also didn't take a screenshot but should have.  :(
I want to show it to the developers. I personally have that Avast signature disabled in my emails.
I think it gives the recipient a false sense of security since that type of signature can be spoofed.
