How do I turn off the annoying alert that a threatening email has been secured?

My peaceful computing is constantly being disturbed by the DING-DING-DING alarm and pop-up screen to let me know that a bogus email has been secured. Thanks for doing that for me, but the alarms are to the point where I want to just cancel my subscriptions and quit doing anything with Avast and move on to another provider. Before I go to that extreme, however, is there a way to turn OFF those annoying alerts?
