Hello, we are really sorry for the issue. We have found a bug related to that and we are investigating it. To be sure, that all what you reported is the same issue, please who can, send me please avastui.log + avastsvc.log from c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\ + time when this happened. Send it to my email: petr.blatny@avast.com
Unwanted random pop-ups, always trying to sell me some next guff or other - hey Avast, you remember those programs you stop getting on my machine, you er, you do remember why I don’t want them on my machine, right?..
the most problematic “triggers” of this issue were stopped on server side. What it means: if you can see in avastui.log rows, where one of these are mentioned:
AVAST_AV_CB_MIGRATION_SOFT_NAG
AVAST_AV_CB_MIGRATION_HARD_NAG
computer restart should help you. After the restart new definitions from our servers are downloaded and these definitions disable this two items.
With mine, silent mode is on and the game I have been playing is on the “do not disturb” list. It still keeps popping up regularly and minimising my game. I have restarted twice now and it’s still doing it.
If Avast doesn’t fix this soon, I will be cancelling my subscription and going elsewhere, I can’t put up with everything I am doing being interrupted every few minutes.
I am using Avast Premium security on a Windows computer and since the last update I also have a pop-up disturbing me with the message that my computer is protected.
How do I get rid of this??
I did try using my VPN and now my IP says I’m in Sweden. Strange that it seems to have stopped it. Wondering if it’s Avast firewall responding to an attack since it is switched on for my PC. Can anyone else with this problem confirm that their Avast firewall is on?
