Daily prompts to upgrade Avast.
« on: August 02, 2018, 07:34:35 PM »
I installed Avast free last week for the first time and I am receiving messages to upgrade daily. Is there any way to turn these off? I had been using Bitdefender free previously and hardly received any of these types of messages. If I continue to have to see them I will switch back to Bitdefender.

Hmmm, never heard of daily prompts yet. But wait for the guys with Avast Free.

I'm certainly not seeing any daily prompts.

My guess would be that in your early days with Avast free you might well get more as you might well be more of a candidate to upgrade.  Not so much for those who has been using Avast free for some time, such as myself (avast free users for over 14 years).
