Annoying Avast pop-up ads since installing new version........

I have all my updates set to be on no longer than a few seconds, but since downloading the new Avast (2014.9.0.2006), I get annoying popup ads from Avast and have to manually click them off because they stay up for at least ten seconds or longer…it’s a fairly large box in the lower right screen and it gets in the way. Someone suggested disabling update notifications, but none of the 3 pertain to ads, the 3 that are checked seem necessary to have. Under settings, I see no category for these or how to set how many seconds I want them up (I don’t want them at all). So how do I get rid of these Avast pop up ads??

If you browse the forums you will see several topics relating to a known bug about updates.

  1. no auto update notification popup (commonly displays an avast! tip - FB Privacy, instead).
  2. no audio voice over for the auto update.
  3. the popup delay timings don’t appear to work either.

These tips popups have in the past been piggybacked with the auto update update notification, so the only way to get rid of them would be to disable the auto update notification, which if you want the update notification (when it works correctly) would remove everything.

Can anyone suggest how to get rid of the annoying pop ups and sound. I am going crazy
