Why does it keep popping up?

[Degera]

Created my account to come and report this issue. Silent Mode is on. Popup keeps pulling me out of my game or program to tell me that my computer is protected. I've tried restarting and repairing. It's still happening.

Same issue here. Just started a few days ago. I tried putting it in silent mode and the screen continually pops up telling me I'm in silent mode. It is aggravating.

Is there any official reply about this anywhere? Seems the forums are flooding with new accounts to report this. Hello Avast? Please help???

[markt8]

I have Silent Mode enabled. Now, the only pop-up I get is Silent mode telling me it's disabling pop-ups - REPEATEDLY.

So I disable AVAST until restart. Now I get a pop-up telling me I've disabled AVAST until restart.

I'm seconds from deleting and moving to another anti-virus!  Please fix!

Unwanted random pop-ups, always trying to sell me some next guff or other - hey Avast, you remember those programs you stop getting on my machine, you er, you do remember why I don't want them on my machine, right?..

It seems I have build 598. How do I force an update to 599? I've tried it through update in the settings.

Hello,

the most problematic "triggers" of this issue were stopped on server side. What it means: if you can see in avastui.log rows, where one of these are mentioned:
AVAST_AV_CB_MIGRATION_SOFT_NAG
AVAST_AV_CB_MIGRATION_HARD_NAG
computer restart should help you. After the restart new definitions from our servers are downloaded and these definitions disable this two items.

With mine, silent mode is on and the game I have been playing is on the "do not disturb" list. It still keeps popping up regularly and minimising my game. I have restarted twice now and it's still doing it.

If Avast doesn't fix this soon, I will be cancelling my subscription and going elsewhere, I can't put up with everything I am doing being interrupted every few minutes.

[j.a.eijgenraam]

I am using  Avast Premium security on a Windows computer and since the last update I also have a pop-up disturbing me with the message that my computer is protected.
How do I get rid of this??

I will try a restart and see if it helps.

UPDATE: I've not restarted, but also not seeing more popups (for now) so I think whatever you did on the server side has worked.

Avast... fix this or I am cancelling my subscription.

It is fixed.
If you're still having problems, reboot and it should be fixed.
