Disable the annoying Advertisements ?
« on: September 14, 2022, 07:46:41 PM »
I understand that Avast wants to sell their products. However I am very angry about the high number of intrusive and annoying popups about additional subscription options.

I guess it is ok in the Free version, but I purchased Premium Security and ONLY Premium Security deliberately, I neither need nor want any additional stuff.
But at every boot and then every few minutes some popup tries to sell another additional feature or to "upgrade".

Is there a way to turn these advertisements off ?
I tried to turn on Silent Mode - and guess what : on the very same screen I get an advertisement for the VPN subscription.

I am very angry about this harrassment and already considering to cancel my subscription and Avast usage if there no other way....

Then you can switch them off, where Avast Free users (like myself) are limited.  I have got use to the minor (embuggerance) and ignore.

Avast UI > Menu > Settings > General > Personal Privacy I think it is in the paid product.
Personally I feel that shouldn't be enabled in paid products.
