my subscription (purchased by accident, mind you, so there’s 0 % chance I’d buy it again) to Avast Cleanup expired a week ago. For the week prior to expiration, and for the week after, I’ve received repeated pop-up notifications reminding me to resubscribe, interrupting me while working, gaming, etc.
Pop up notifications are turned off. Silent/Gaming mode is turned on.
I had considered this option, but I have other components installed (from the looks of it) which I neither use nor which spam me with notifications. I did not want to uninstall it hastily and either create a vulnerability or eliminate my options to stop the notifications somehow.
Today this appeared when I started up my computer.
At right you can see that the component is uninstalled and silent/game mode is on. I can provide proof that popups are turned off as well, if needed.
