What the first topic person identified is exactly what happens, SILENT MODE is ON already, and while playing games whatever, big ole popup, "Sub about to run out"..., everyday, several times a day it pops up. I'm with the original poster, this is the reason I chose avast a couple of years ago, light, non-intrusive, INEXPENSIVE(well thats history) and works well. Now you have placed yourself, since the nagging popups to renew, with the former programs i used...intrusive and expensive.
