Well well well after the AVG update a couple of months ago a new option appeared in settings "Show popup offers for other AVG products" and I thought the complaints of many paid for customers had finally been answered. I unchecked the box and the usual unwanted HMA ads etc seemed to go away.
Unforutnely though they have now re-appeared, this one seems to pop up every time AVG detects Im on a website looking for technical details (which I do a lot in my line of work). So not also is this more unwanted Adware AVG is also spying on my web browsing !
AVG guru and team let me know when this will be fixed please?
You can see how well they listen by that statement - with the SAME unuable instructions and they never fix the problem. I loved AVG when it wasn't a pop-up adware program. I watch these forums to see if it ever gets fixed - I'd use it again.
Hello Haw & Daren,
We regret to hear about the inconvenience caused to you. We would like to appreciate you taking time to provide valuable feedback about AVG campaign pop ups. It has been submitted to our developers and changes related to ads are being made. You will see these changes in future updates and we suggest you to keep AVG up to date always.
As with all versions in the last couple years, the ability to limit or turn off pop-ups is a bold faced lie. They tell you how to do it. It doesn't work. Their instructions tell you how to do it, but it's the wrong version. I have set mine to 0, then 1, then 5 seconds - NONE work. The pop-ups come almost hourly and last for no less than 30 seconds.
Total scam.
Hi Alan/Sarath, any answers now you have the screenshot?
Any answers guys? Another day and another unwanted annoying popup that has interuptted my work.
Another day another unauthroised AVG application running on my system and another unwanted popup from AVG paid edition. Any answers guys?
Nearly 3 months since I raised this issue, any update on when the new version will be released??. I seem to be getting more unwated pop up adverts than ever and they seem to be more intrusive too scanning my PC or popping up whenever they think Im visiting a financial website.
Come AVG get this fixed, I thought I paid for a product that protects me from PUA, Adware, Malware!

My AVG Unlimited Internet Security paid for version recently updated to a new UI and since then I've been bombarded daily with unwanted popups advertising other AVG products. In the old UI I could disable these and there is a support article explaining the process but it doesn't cover the new version.
How do I do this in the new UI? I had a live chat session with support yesterday and they suggested setting the INFO popup setting to 0 seconds. They couldn't tell me what other INFO this may also disable. Regardless of this poor support it hasn't worked anyway and this morning I've had an unwanted popup advert for PCTuneup telling me it has scanned my computer without permission.
This is exactly the type of Unwanted Application/Adware AVG is meant to protect me from!
How can I disable adverts but retain important popups that tell me about Virus/Firewall issues?
Thank you

Hello Daren,
I understand your concern. Please let me know when exactly you get this pop-up. Is this occur randomly searching for technical support or when you try to access a particular web site? Also let us know in which browser you have this issue.

I'd just like to add a 'me too' to this thread. I really hate popups. I pay for PUA protection to stop this sort of thing. My subscription expires in October. I will not renew if this continues.
Hello Brian,
I'm sorry to hear that you're receiving pop ups from AVG. The frequency of pop ups can be controlled directly from the app or can be even turned off. Please open AVG Internet Security/AVG free Antivirus > menu > settings > general > pop ups > manage pop ups also you can check the Silent Mode box to turned off AVG promotional pop ups.
Best regards,
Alok.
