How do I stop Avast from opening with a pitch for more $ items to add to my Avast program?
Every time I choose to open with Google, an AVAST pitch for me to upgrade comes up 2 or 3 times. This is worse than a virus!. Or perhaps it IS A VIRUS!
Must I change to another AV program to end this annoyance?
I like Avast, I use on three computers but I cannot allow myself to go broke on Avast add-ons. I’m 80 yrs old, still using XP. I don’t even recall what items of Avast I have paid for already…
Thanks for any help with this problem

You can disable adds for other avast products in the settings if you have a paid version.
Also remove all components that you don’t want.
control panel > software > avast > change
For those using an avast paid product. Use the avastUI > Settings > General - scroll down to Popups and expand - uncheck the Show popup offers for other Avast products.
To remove the unwanted add-ons simply use the Settings and then Components section:
