Thx for that Bob,
I kinda hoped that you would have Avast Premium - then that could be the explanation.
Wondering if Win 8.1 Pro is the solution then, hmm.
Do you have the default settings in Avast? I do.
I can see there are some settings that maybe could make some difference, but they all seem to disable too much from my POV.
For example;
-
I still want Avast to update the virus definitions automatically, and I do want it to show the popup for when it’s done.
-
I still want Avast to automatically check for new program updates, and just alert me that there’s one available - so I can choose to update it instantly or later.
-
But I don’t want Avast to scan my registry or harddrives in the background, unless I personally give it permission on demand.
-
And I don’t want Avast to give me intimidating ads/popups/alerts about Grimefighter/Optimize my PC and so on.

(ATM I get these kind of alerts a couple of times a day. That’s what I wanna get rid of.)
To sum it all up; I just want Avast to be an antivirus. Nothing more nothing less.
