I just want to mention how disgusted I am in the McAfee-ification of Avast in the last couple years. I'm getting annoying advertisements for the Pro version at least daily. C'mon, I haven't wanted it in 9 years, why am I going to start now? I figure this will just be erased since these are, after all, the product's forums. I was hoping there would be a better 'Contact Us' page but whatever, c'est la vie. Still, such a bummer to see. I regret recommending avast to people and am not looking forward to scrubbing my machine of it.

Hi!

What's your prob? Not to mention, that I haven't bought any AV-prog in case of the numbers of my machines.
But anyway: A '.com' has to earn money for their FREE versions! And I didn't want things like that since about 20 years! Especially not regretting my second registering here!

If you have the paid version, simply shut off the notifications.
