Hi, I am having the same problem. I have set Avast Internet Suite v6 to silent/gaming mode, as I use my laptop for work. The alerts and pop ups are still appearing and the sounds are really intrusive. I just want it to work silently in the background - even if it has something to tell me, usually there is nothing for me to do except read the message. So I would like it to be quiet! I ruins my concentration and, when I am not working, it ruins my music.
I am running Windows 7, MS Office 2007 and Avast Internet Suite v6. Thanks.
Ian
