Reading back to page two you will find…
I actually have NOT Seen the pop up anymore since the first time it has shown. Which confuses me. XD
Like Gargamel360 said, you did. Avast has shields that run constantly in the background unless you disable them. They pretty much look at everything on your PC. I could write a java program that looks at the domain someone is on if I wanted to while it ran. The difference is AVAST doesn’t collect that information and send it back, they just use it to trigger a window, client side.
Honestly, I feel having the pop up window is a relatively small price to pay for something that is provided to me free. And Avast works too. I understand you may not like that it does that, and you maybe don’t want them collecting information about your network, but you have to trust the company to use their product. If you can’t trust them, then don’t use Avast.
