How in the heck do I turn off the ANNOYING update ad that pops up constantly.
There is an easy way, though it will cause the “Avast, Virus Database Has Been Updated” announcements to be eliminated as well (which I find acceptable).
Open the Avast UI by clicking the ball in the System Tray, then choose Settings, then Update. In the Details section, UNcheck the [ ] Show notification box after automatic update setting, then OK out.
You may want to check to see that the setting has “stuck” after you changed it. I had a case where it didn’t, and had to completely uninstall and reinstall Avast before the setting would stick.
