I always thought I loved Avast but it seems to be getting like a high maintenance spouse in terms of things that require your attention. I wonder if there’s a way to pipe down all the pop-ups and notifications because if I can’t get it to simmer down, I’ll be looking at alternatives.
Do a “custom install” and untick what you don’t want.
Or do a “change”…Control Panel>Uninstall a Program>double click “avast”>click “change”>untick what you don’t want>reboot.
I would strongly suggest you do custom installs whenever possible. This will cut down on what you don’t want and will allow you
to keep what you do want. Another good thing to have is Unchecky.
Unchecky will cut down almost all crapware/opt-out(s) during any install.
edit: You can adjust the pop-up duration to as low as two seconds. “0”= eternity. GUI>Settings>General>scroll down to “pop-ups”.
