Seriously, why the hell am I getting popup every single day for this thing when I clearly have 1 device connected to my account that already has AMS already installed? It’s pointless and annoying.
Yes a pain in the backside - mainly because there is no checking whatsoever or a way to even do a check to see if a) the user even has a android phone or b) they already have AMS installed on their android phone.
Whilst as RejZoR said the my.avast.com account essentially has that information - but should the information contained there be used to target ads. Many will say no as that is essentially a breach of privacy or trust or at worst adware if the information contained there were to be used in this way.
Not only is it pointless and annoying as mentioned - the frequency is unbelievable, I didn’t keep specific count, but I guess it got very boring after having seen it more than five times (when does it bl00dy stop). Add to that it happens on both my systems so double hassle.
I guess it is time to delve into the avast5.ini file to see if a tweak will kill it.
It’s not just one time a day. It is popping up for me 3 times today!!! WHAT IN THE F. And I can’t even set a 3 seconds for it to go away, it stays FOREVER! Fix it please!
I’ve sent an email and have already received a reply. It’s being looked at.
Also getting many complaints on their Facebook page about this pop-up.

According to this avast now qualify to be PUP 
It’s really annoying for me. And I don’t want those advertising! >:(
Purchase the paid version and turn them off. Use the free version and click on the X to close them.
If there is no way to stop these constant advertising pop ups, I shall go back to AVG.
I agree that these sort of popups are annoying.
Curiously, I haven’t seen a popup for Mobile Security on Free or paid versions of Avast. I presumed it is because I have an Android device in ‘My Account’ with AMS installed.
So Do I but had pop-ups. None so far today. Maybe the email helped ???
This is interesting. I do not have an Avast account and I have not been getting any pop ups
I never even received one. 8)
I’ve just received an email confirmation that the Mobile Security Popup has been disabled. 
Well, if system detected 1 Android device conencted, it should stop displaying it. And there should be a 3rd button saying “I don’t have Android device” when installer asks you to also install AMS.
Apparently they couldn’t tell who used AMS so you continued to receive the popup.
Since it’s now stopped, I guess it no longer matters.Hopefully it will be addressed before
such a popup is relaunched.
That’s what I thought from my previous post:
Whilst as RejZoR said the my.avast.com account essentially has that information - but should the information contained there be used to target ads. Many will say no as that is essentially a breach of privacy or trust or at worst adware if the information contained there were to be used in this way.
Even if they were able to use the linkage of your account registered email to the my.avast.com account - that would really be bad news to get targeted ads based on information in your my.avast.com information.
What targeted ads? One thing are global targeted ads on the internet and another when they are targeted within a specific application for a very specific purpose. because by all means, when you use free version, such stuff is to be expected and such behavior makes relevant things appear to people interested. Which is far better than getting random meaningless popups for stuff you’re not even virtually interested in.
So yeah, targeted, intelligent ads inside avast!, yes please. Targeted ads, globally on the internet, no thanks.
I’m on about the fact they could/would be using information in your avast account to deliver ‘targeted’ ads and would that be considered fair game or underhand, since you now need to have an avast account.
Rather than the current blunderbuss approach every avast user gets hit rather than those who might just be interested, had an android phone and didn’t already have it installed.
I think your looking at it in the wrong way. They had no way to distinguish if you acted on the offer or even checked out the popup.
It had nothing to do with the my.avast.com account.
