Internet security version renewed, VPN pop ups, how to Stop?

Hi,
I renewed my Avast Internet Security.
I forget how to stop advertisement pop ups this time your VPN is the culprit.

I have been digging aroung in settings but cannot find kill switch for Ads.
A wee bit of help please.
Thanks

Where exactly is this pop up for VPN coming from I will rip it out by the roots.
I was not going to renew but thought why not, I am already regretting it.
I am not sure I can get my money back based on annoying time consuming pop ups.

Assuming you are running the latest version and you’ve done a “custom install” choosing only the components you want, Do you have the boxes “unchecked” in Settings/Personal Privacy that refer to other products?

Edit: I have all unchecked for demonstration

Yes all unchecked even tried to check reboot then uncheck reboot.
I am a bit annoyed.
I have to go to work now.
I personally feel that a product ment to protect should not use advertisement pop ups which I feel are no different than Spam or malware.
Ok I am a little bit more than annoyed.

Hi Administrator Please.
How do I stop this Avast VPN Spam ??, That is exactly what it is, Spam !! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
I Have No use for your VPN.
This is more than frustrating, it makes no difference how many times it pops up I will not use it, Ever.
I have searched G00gle and tried many things None work.

Now, How do I remove it I paid NOT to be bothered by pop ups thats the point of using your program.

I am Removing Avast from this computer and Purging it, this Was a Fresh Windows install.
Thanks thats sarcasm

I have the Answer, after some experiments.
" It is a Back Door installed to push Avast advertisements "
Disconnect the internet the scanner performs a normal scan.
Connect the internet and Avast Pushes Advertisements directly to your computer.
Creepy !
And it should be illegal, try walking into my home uninvited and see what happens
EDIT: puging does not work need to take ownership.
