Avast is 1 giant ad

so I get avast to protect me from pop ups and ads and what do I get? pop ups and ads from avast, FML!

If you don’t want avast ads then you are given that option in the new Beta paid version, ads in the free version is the sacrifice you make for using free.

You can turn this off for the paid versions in the latest beta.
