Advertisements? seriously?

AVG Ultimate owner (Read: ~PAID CUSTOMER~) here and I will not be renewing unless these damn popups go away and fast.  I am so SICK of seeing the one that says "not at home?" which I beleive is advertising your VPN service. I already have a VPN service. Don't need or want yours. How many times must I dismiss this before you get the f'ing hint? Happens every time I boot a computer and I have several!

Now I am seeing one that I beleive is advertising the tune up program.  I already said that I own AVG Ultimate.  The f'ing thing is included in Ultimate and I have it installed.  Why the hell do I need to see a f'ing ad about it?

Stop this or you are going to loose yet another customer!

AVG, I understand if giving users popups is the "best" way to get users to see it (and not ignore it).

But we're users that have paid for your product. We're not free users that you're trying to monetize. Give us the option to disable your legitimate ad campaigns.  Make it a premium option (for paid users only) Or make the pop-up come up when we open the AVG UI. Do NOT have the pop up come up 5 minutes after every boot cycle, kicking us out of our full screen applications.

Sure, you want to furthwer monetize your paying users by ensuring they know about your new products. But at this rate, you're going to drive your paying users away to competitiors with this adware-esque behavior.

Yes you are right you have purchased the subscription for AVG Ultimate Multi device.
The popup that says "Our New VPN is out" is our legitimate business campaign popup to know about our newly launched "AVG SAFE SURF" . To know about AVG Safe Surf please have a look at this link: http://avgread.me/1RkNVPW .

Hello Jimmy,
And then I request you to install your AVG program by downloading from http://www.avg.com/us-en/download .Thank you.

Hello John,
We regret for the inconvenience caused. We kindly request you to follow the instructions on the article http://avgread.me/29lFofA to Change the Frequency of Pop-Up Notifications. Please feel free to contact us for further assistance.
Thank you.

AVG, remove the pop-ups once and for all. Face the fact that your customers hate them. Some of us have been your loyal customers for years and years so please try and treat us with just a bit of respect.

What you are doing is unacceptable and it's hard for me to fathom how you could possibly think this was a good idea. And all your talk about your "legitimate business campaign"... I don't care how "legitimate" it is - it's annoying.

If you do not stop this intrusive advertising very quickly, I will be doing what many others have already told you, I will simply be switching to another product. Yes, it's time consuming and a bit of a ballache, but you know what? I don't mind. I really don't like what you're doing.

Now, please learn from this mistake and stop this as quickly as you can. That would suit you much better than trying to defend it.

Thank you.

We can understand your concern.
Campaign through program popups is the best way that is the reason we don't choose email option.
Since safe surf is newly launched you will be getting the popup to try it.
