Hello Pery,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns. Many of our users find these offers useful. We handpick them from our own products or those of partners we feel can add to your security or digital experience.
If you have suggestions on how these offers might be more relevant to you or less intrusive, please let us know. We are always working on improving your experience with AVG. Please share the screenshot ( http://avgclick.me/getscreenshot ) of the pop up.
Thank you for understanding.
here is the screenshot you requested. While I was putting the first screenshot in paint about this same web avg thing I always get, I understand, and would like to stop seeing, I got this other pop up. So i screenshotted the process, that is why you see a seperate message in a paint window already.
How do I stop unsolicited solicitations like these? Assuming AVG blocks pop ups from other stuff, seemingly doing exactly what one is meant to prevent is very contradictory and intrusive.
My suggestion, change the icon on the lower screen to AVG symbol with " $ ? " on it, to signify it wants the user to spend money one way or the other.
I appreciate you regarding my concerns about this free version my work chose to use, since I have do have a subscription at home, where I have a similar desire to live a commercial and advertisement free life.
I once heard "If something is advertised, then you don't need it. If you did, they wouldn't need to advertise." That's why apples and carrots don't have commercials, same with bath towels, most tooth brushes, or gasoline, to name a few.
I am currently using the free version for work, but this question applies additional to my personal computer for which I have a subscription for AVG. Maybe to all software that I have if someone can cover the span.
How do I turn off advertisements from the free AVG protection?
I clearly marked the category as threats since it is an actual threat to my attention span and therefore productivity at work.
Pop up advertisements from a protection service is like a personal security guard who hassles you to let you know he's protecting you. Its definitely a shady way to get your name out there. get your name out there. get you name out there. get your other name out there. get your updated name out there. get you premium name out there. get your name out there. get your other name out there. get get your other name out there. get your premium name out there. get your name out there. get you premium name out there. get your name out there. get your other name out there. get get your other name out there. get your premium name out there. get your name out there. get you name out there. get your other name out there. get your updated name out there. get you premium name out there. get your name out there. get your other name out there. get get your other name out there. get your premium name out there. get your name out there. get you premium name out there. get your name out there. get your other name out there. get get your other name out there. get your premium name out there. get your name out there. get your… name… out… there…

Pery,
Thank you for sharing the screenshot. If you do not want AVG Web tuneup in your browser, please follow the steps in this article http://avgclick.me/uninstallAVGtoolbar to uninstall it. The pop up you are seeing at the bottom right corner is the new AVG campaign offering AVG subscription on a monthly base. We would suggest you make use of the offer. Thank you.
Pery, For your info, just in case that you are unaware, you can post the screenshot here in your topic. Click on 'Answer' & then click on the 'Image' [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.
