Anybody else sick of all the ads and pop-ups they get from avast itself? It appears you have to buy a dozen products to be protected. They keep trying to sell me stuff and I already have four of their products. Can you stop them?
You can disable the ads in the paid versions: Avast GUI → Settings → Personal Privacy
Avast GUI → Menu → Settings → Personal Privacy
Also to add, check your components installed via:
Menu/Settings/Troubleshooting/ “Add/Modify Components” to make sure you only have the components installed that you want; Uncheck everything else. 
Otherwise known as a “Custom Install”. Don’t do a default install. Pick and choose.
