Hi Avast Team i just wanna ask, what does pop-out message “hide me now” do? Sometimes it pop-outs when i browse on web sometimes it does not pop-out. Thanks in Advance, more power to you guys :slight_smile:

What is the exact message on the popup … a screenshot would help

If you have not rebooted since it happened you can right click avast tray icon and select show last popup
There is a pin in top right corner on the popup, click that to pin it on the screen

It sounds like a spam warning from a Hideme infected website

Hi Thanks for the reply sorry i just restarted my laptop just now. I’ll attach a old “hide me” message of avast. I think the function of old and new “hide me” is the same cause when the program update, updated, the logo and box size of “hide me” changes. The new “hide me” pop-out is like a big green box with a message of “hackers, company’s and government can see you online, hide me now”. Is it related to secureline vpn? its like avast wanna encourage you to buy the vpn? Thanks in Advance

The message actually states: Hide My Activity Now". It could also be reworded as:
“Click here to purchase Avast SecureLine”
If you don’t intend to purchase, close the popup. :frowning:
