avast is supposed to be free on my computor are they messing around trying to SELL
Avast Free is what is called a Fremium product, you get the product free and they will offer you paid products in the hope you will switch.
I have been using Avast Free for over 21 years and there are settings within Avast Free which will reduce this noise. Also if you run the Smart Scan you are very likely to be offered one of the paid products for perceived weaknesses/vulnerabilities.
Try this:
Avast in program ADs
- These are a fact of the free version, but can be removed in paid versions of Avast - AvastUI > Menu > Settings > Notifications - Personal Privacy and you can uncheck them, ‘Show offers for other Avast Products’ and ‘Show offers for 3rd party products’.
- Also check the AvastUI > Menu > Settings > Notifications - Limited Mode.
