I finally cracked over Avast pop ups

Hiya,
I’ve been a user and dealer of Avast products for a long time.
Pop ups used to just niggle me, BUT as a VPN user (not yours) I get annoyed by you telling me that anybody can see what I’m doing.

They can’t.

Today, while trying to talk to the government online I got another one.
That’s it. I’ve disabled ALL pop ups from you, thereby rendering part of the software useless.

If I see another one I’ll be uninstalling IS permanently.

If you’re using a paid version, have you unchecked the following options via Settings > General > Privacy:

Show offers for our other products
Show offers for 3rd-party products

There should be no ads if those options are disabled

I paid for Avast Internet Security and Secureline VPN and it’s still bugging me to buy more of their software (Cleanup notifications) - really irritating that they use their paid products to bug their customers with ads. I can understand doing that with the free version or even discreet ads, but notifications that problems have been found, which are simply designed to get you to spend even more money, really turns me off Avast. Once my subscription runs out Avast is GONE!!!

Are you still getting notifications with the settings I mentioned disabled?

Me too!!!

Had with continual requests to buy clean up. I don’t want to buy it. I don’t want the messages.

Avast is behaving like Spam. I am so fed up I am checking out which alternative to use instead. Don’t care I have months left on the term, just fed up.

guys just disable that it has to work

I have also done what was suggested-I also have paid version for ‘Avast Internet Security’ and continue to get pop ups for ‘ADVANCED SECURITY REPAIRS’

That popup is not from Avast, you need to go to Programs and Features/Uninstall Programs and remove the extra 3rd party security software you have installed ( Advanced System Repair )

If pop up is not associated with Avast why does Windows Defender state it is. I can’t find any extra 3rd party software installed

I think you need to read the popups correctly, Defender states “in yellow highlight” Avast Internet Security, in your previous post the popup states “Advanced System Repair” which is a completely different program (likely malware) that needs to be removed from your system.

Again! Advanced Security which is Avast Internet Security is not “Advanced System Repair” notice the logo I’ve highlighted from your popup…it’s not an Avast popup as mentioned it’s “Advanced Sytem Repair”

It is NOT an Avast product.

Can anyone tell me where I can find it to remove it is NOT to be found.

See if this helps you do the job:

Bob, the only thing is that the program isn’t listed in the installed programs list so it may have been uninstalled incorrectly or not letting itself be removed due to being scamware, which will then mean either re-installing the software followed by an uninstall and if that fails to remove it then navigating through the Program Files and Program Data to manually strip out all evidence of Advanced System Repair will be required.

Another option is to run the tools and post required logs from the viruses and worms board and wait for one of the malware guys to remove it for her.

I guess we’ll know what other steps will be needed once we hear back from diwax. :slight_smile:
There’s also Revo Uninstaller. :slight_smile:

I will try what you suggested… then if that is unsuccessful I will try what Bob suggested-keep you posted
