The Nigerian Prince thinks he has a good deal also.
The best solution is to remove it. I had 90 days of subscription left when my antivirus went full on malware mode. I still have around 60. The irony is that we buy your product to stop software that does what you are actively and openly doing from being installed. I have used plenty of “free” adware and none of it has ever done what this paid product is doing.
This amazing “deal” of yours is gonna make me change to a different antivirus at this rate
I find this very hard to believe. You can design software to remove a multitude of viruses from my PC, but you can’t prevent your software from putting advertising material on my screen. Really???
Dev-Info: FYI, we are going to check NAGS vs silent mode.
Just popping in to say that it’s offensive that a paid program is throwing these popups at me constantly like it’s shareware, and that the company’s response is “Yeah, we did it on purpose. You’re welcome.” This could have been just a single email sent to every subscriber.
It’s convenient that these popups are happening when my subscription is about to expire, because I’ll be one of the people not renewing it. Please remember that people expect your paid product to be unobtrusive, and lots of popup advertisements lower its appeal tremendously.
I’m also fed up with the annoying popups and no way to turn it off. Wish they could add a drop-down like the restart so I could click “Remind me next century”. Any recommendations on other antivirus programs?
02.08.21 update, intrusive add still occurring often. ill definitely cancel my subscription. I had issues with other Avast adds before I learnt how to run off the settings. they must not realise how Malware and Adware affect users.
Did anyone realise the price annoyingly advertised to existing premium users was more expensive than that advertised on Avast’s website? As they are running a SAVE 30% offer. but obviously this is not available to us dummies. A bit of a scam I’d say.
They (sales department) must especially realise (achieve 
) … a better profit.
I’ve never seen a big company that makes a mistake in its sales policy without reacting, so if avast makes a mistake, we’ll know about it soon … the popups will disappear.
Been getting the same issue.
Gone over all the settings. The popups happen on two different machines. I’m subscribed to both.
It’s been reported as a bug. This is bad programming, bad sales, bad business. I pay to NOT have ads. This includes yours. Send it by E-mail. If I like it, I’ll take it.
I’m subscribed to your service because I’ve had it for years, it works, it had features, it runs lighter than your competitors, and it wasn’t getting in my face. The last point, it’s doing piss poorly in.
There’s no excuse. You are not making a nice promo, it’s not worth the hassle, and if you want to save money, try seeing if management will hire new marketing, sales, and even management to replace themselves.
Yep, agree with you all, the ad has appeared on all my PCs twice now, very annoying.
It’s not even a good price, £70+ for 10 devices, for which I only pay £25 for now.
For ultimate 10 devices ?
As said by r@vast:
We are offering an upgrade service package (Ultimate). We believe this to be a great deal and package.
Avast Premium Security - yes 10 devices.
Their pricing is all over the place, the rules seem to be:
Deceitful practice now plaguing the Internet.
It’s also getting too module heavy, too many upselling crap components (yes I know I can switch them off and do).
I’ve given up recommending Avast to my clients now.
Another today at bootup time!
5th one in 3 weeks.
Avast, you said you were looking into it - look harder and stop it.
Those annoying adverts seemed to reduce in frequency for a few weeks after I originally complained, but they’ve ramped up again in the last week or so. Several times they’ve popped up over the top of work I was doing on my PC. How unprofessional.
My anti-virus renewal is due in October this year and I need to decide whether to continue with Avast for another year (or two), which probably means a lot more adverts, or, move to another anti-virus program.
Avast - you’ve made the decision very easy for me. You’re ignoring the complaints in this thread and your marketing people have clearly taken over the company. It’s a pity, as you originally provided exactly what people paid for. Only those using your free anti-virus program had to tolerate adverts.
Hi,
We are genuinely sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Please know that we are still working on a permanent fix, and we hope to release it soon.
Hello, thank you r44flyer for the screen. It seems you have ultimate (AV+cleanup+vpn). The screen is probably from Avast Cleanup. Silent mode is set for AV now. We are working on a fix, which will disable ads for Cleanup too. From my point of view silent mode in AV should be shared by other Avast apps on the same machine, especially for our best customers with ultimate.
No, I have Avast Premium Security, not Ultimate.
But the stupid thing is it thinks I own Antitrack Premium & Driver updater, which I don’t (bug mentioned on another thread).
Another ‘renewal’ pop-up today - sick of it!
Backed up, about to remove Avast and try something else instead!
Avast has too many modules, too complicated, too many bugs, malicious marketing, upselling - why would I want it anymore?
I’m experiencing the same behavior for my Premium Avast with Silent mode on and Offers turned off. Whether this is a bug or a promotion, I dislike it.
I have intolerance to marketing campaigns that blatantly aim to take more money from me. This is exactly what it does. I like Avast. I’m not a basic user, so I don’t easily fall into phishing or scam attempts, so Avast is just a cushion for me to feel better. This AV is relatively lightweight and does not interfere with gaming which is important for me. HOWEVER, I’m considering my options mainly because of this annoying pop-up every fucking time that I start windows (and a little bit because the follow-up yearly subscriptions keep getting more and more expensive and the curve is slightly more steep than I’d feel comfortable with).
Just canceled my renewal i bought Avast so i didn’t get this stuff put up with it Last year till my renewal I’m done this year i know I’m a drop in the ocean and Avast doesn’t care but I’m done Good luck.
And yet here we are on 6th November and I’m still getting these pop up probably 5 times a week. I will be cancelling my renewal and finding an alternative.
