One thing I find hard to use with Avast Internet Security is the short lived popup notification. I perceive 2 side effects when this popup activates: 1 - focus is taken away for the window I’m working in. 2 - when I’m concentrating on something else, it takes a moment to look over and try to understand what the message is trying to tell me. Often the popup disappears and I can’t find the message any where else in avast to try to make better sense of it.
Today I received a popup that said something like “You are now free to enjoy AsBorder without interruption”. The message went away and I can’t find anything in avast to show me what it did to allow this access. I looked in the allows application, but it’s not there. I looked in notifications, but it’s not there.
Where should I look? I don’t recall adding anything called AsBorder to my system. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it malware?

Yes, as far as I’m concerned for no good reason, this was a very useful function. It allowed users to do a screenshot or review the information after a state of panic after an alert. We had been asking for a revision/improvement of the tray icon context menu for some considerable time (and this was basically agreed) to allow quick access to areas of the avastUI.
