How to turn off the sound when Avast starts?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I use Avast free and it’s been very good.

But every time I start up my computer, avast comes up with a pop-up window that usually jsut says “all is well” but it allways makes a loud “Beep!”

I have my computer in the bedroom and often put it on right after I put the baby to sleep so this is a big problem for me since she wakes up from it. I have of course turned off all other sound (like upstart sounds) on my coumputer, but since I use it to whatch movies and listen to music, I often have the volume up high and its not every time I remember to mute it while it’s starting.

And I shouldn’t have to, right?

There must be a way to turn off this very disturbing noise?

Avast settings/sounds, untick the sounds you don’t want :slight_smile:

Hello, I have all the sounds ticked, but no sounds. I use Windows XP and checked Sounds in Control Panel … there were none for Avast.

PLEASE HELP me.

That seeting must have moved. There are no sound option under settings. Where did it move to?? I need to turn that stupid thing off. Why is it even there??wasted 20 minutes so far looking for it. Why is the option buried? If its now mandatory, I will no longer be using avast after all these years.

Yes - They are now in the avastUI > Settings > Appearance (I know, hardly logical) > scroll down to expand the Sound Settings to see the others options.
