Bombarded With Threat Messages

Getting bombarded with phony threat messages that are complete BS. Every freaking day ! Over and over and over and over. It’s a LIE because I am an internet security consultant. Pay to remove the BS nags, eh ? That’s a low-down thing to do !

First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member and I use Avast Antivirus Free and I don’t suffer this.

Some detail wouldn’t go amiss, you don’t say what Avast Program you have or the nags.

I suspect this is related to Avast Notifications and your default Avast settings related to notifications.

Avast in program ADs

  • These are a fact of the free version, but can be removed in paid versions of Avast
  • AvastUI > Menu > Settings > General - Personal Privacy and you can uncheck them, ‘Show offers for other Avast Products’ and ‘Show offers for 3rd party products’.
  • Also check the AvastUI > Menu > Settings > Notifications - Limited Mode.

You may also be allowing Avast to run a Smart scan, which at the end you are presented with weaknesses which it just so happens Avast has a paid resolution.

NO SETTING will stop this Avast Spamming, Norbert. I have been using Avast longer than you have, Rookie…I am just trying to get the word out there. They don’t Spam my server edition on my webserver – because I freaking pay for that !
