Even though I have purchased the program I want, I am still interrupted with messages about updates and offers to buy other Avast items. I did not purchase to be constantly sold other items. Although I think Avast works, I am looking for other alternatives.
If you have a paid version of Avast then you can disable the popups in settings.
AvastUI > Settings > Popups > uncheck the ‘Show popup offers for other Avast products.’
Yes, but even then, more interruptions appear.
If you remove the checkmark in front of the pop-up setting, you will not get them.
Have you stopped and restarted avast or rebooted since changing the settings ?
Have the settings been retained ?
Can you post a screenshot to give us an idea what it is you are seeing.
