Turning off Avast asking to upgrade/renew
« on: March 05, 2019, 03:28:40 AM »
How can I turn off the pop ups that appear every time I start my PC. I get a pop up to renew a service that I no longer want. How do I stop this?

Quite normal. Avast would like you back as a paying customer.
The price of using the free version is to, once in a while, see a sales popup.
