How to remove warning icon after disabling some of the active protection options

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi,

I disabled avast Web Shield. I don’t need it and I strongly dislike the otion to inject 3rd party SSL certificates on pages like Facebook, Gmail etc.
Now Avast is displaying with a warning icon in my tray, and it’s very annoying. Is there a possibility to STOP seeing this warning? I still want to receive other warnings, but it’s very annoying to keep seeing a warning that not all services are running if I turned them off.
There has to be an option to remove this, right?

I have Avast! Premiere

Yes, but as I use the German version I haven’t got the right terms at hand.
Wait for one of the English helpers…

instead of disabling webshield try to turn off HTTPS scan … webshield will protect you against infected websites

any modules you dont want

Though it can be excluded from Status Monitoring - AvastUI > Settings > General - scroll down to Status Monitoring and expand the section. Uncheck the option.

The preference would be to do as suggested disable HTTPS scanning.
