Hi,

Welcome to the forum,

What is the feature of avast 5.0 that you want to turn off?

And Why?

Try right clicking on the tray and select “Properties” then under “Notification Area” select customize, Find avast and change it to “Hide icon and notifications” or “show only notifications” if you still wish to receive info on it updates and stuff that it finds without having to manually open the UI.
