What is it with this annoying pop-up to get the mobile version that keeps coming up and won’t go away like the other pop-ups forcing you to close it manually?
Come on, guys! At least make it respect the pop-up persistence rules 
This is likely to be the same related issue with the auto updates:
– Auto Update Notifications are screwed up.
The popup is probably meant to be the auto update notification (check your avastUI > Settings > Update and you will probably see that an auto update has just taken place. It appears that these tips/ad popups are piggybacked onto the auto update notification popup and this looks like it messes up the display and sound for the auto update notifications.
If you browse the forums you will see several topics relating to a known bug about updates.
- no auto update notification popup (commonly displays an avast! tip - FB Privacy, instead).
- no audio voice over for the auto update.
- the popup delay timings don’t appear to work either.
These tips popups have in the past been piggybacked with the auto update update notification, so the only way to get rid of them would be to disable the auto update notification, which if you want the update notification (when it works correctly) would remove everything.
I think you’re spot-on. I haven’t been seeing the update notifications now that you mention it. What you see is definitely more in your face than what you don’t :). At least I seem to be up-to-date, according to stats 263 updates in the past 24 hours!? Maybe the updating is now in small pieces hence the no notifications?
Hmmm, you can’t remove the pop-ups, only set the time to at least 1. Charming.
You can remove them, as I said they appear to be piggybacked to the auto update notification, so you would have to disable the auto update notification - avastUI > Settings > Update - Details section, uncheck the ‘Show notification after automatic update.’ This would mean that you don’t get the auto update notifications pop-up or voice over.
Setting a lower time also isn’t going to work either (whilst this update bug isn’t squashed), as I mentioned in point number 3. above.
Aha! Thanks for the clarification - I was trying under the alert duration section, doh!
You’re welcome.
Need to do a little digging around this new UI to get used to where things are now. Though this one is pretty much in the same location.
