stop re-activation nag screens

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I’ve had subscription to the VPN addons for a while, and decided to cancel it.
However, for some unknown reason, avast keep nagging me about re-activating it with some sales offer, etc.
This really nags me, and I don’t wish to see this re-activation messages anymore.
How can I cancel those pop-ups from showing ?

If you’ve the standalone version of SecureLine, uninstall it.
→ Control Panel → Add/Remove programs → Avast SecureLine

i’ts not standalone, I only have “avast internet security” on my installed app list.
I’m referring to this nag screens:

and as mentioned, VPN component is already uninstalled:

This really bothers me >:(
I’ve paid for service, period is over, I don’t wish to use the VPN component any more.
This is still paid license of the internet security suite,
I don’t see any reason i’m forced to see nag screens in the name of trying to convince me to re-activate…
I can understand one-two times, but when this appears daily - it’s BAD / POOR PR choice.

Please help.

As an avast user of a paid program version, have you not disabled the ‘don’t show promotions for other avast products’ or words to that effect ?

I believe that setting is in the avastUI > Settings > Privacy section.

Yes it is David. :slight_smile:

Thanks, avast keep changing the bloody settings (and I’m using the free version) so it is hard to keep track of where things are :slight_smile:

I’ve removed the checks boxes as mentioned, but the damn nags keeps showing:

Regarding my licenses, as mentioned,
using the paid version:

Any other ideas ?

Did you reboot afterwards…!?

reboot seems to solve it.
24h without nags, lets hope it remains that way :]

OK, sounds good.
