Popups from avast Home 4

[John W]

  I have started getting popups at bottom of screen showing what avast is scanning. these take up about a third of screen. How do I get these to go away?  I use Win Vista Ult., Avast Home 4.  Thanks, JohnW

Click on the A ball in the system tray (By the clock),Make sure you can see the providers by clicking Details, click on web shield then click on customize, click on the advanced tab, make sure to clear the check from " show detailed info on performed action". if that one is clear, then do the same on the Standard shield provider.

Thanks, that did it.

Your welcome.

Thanks, that did it.

That option is disabled by default, so it looks like you were tweaking avast settings without knowing what the effect would be. That option is also in the Internet Mail provider, if you haven't checked to see if that too has been set.
