AVG Self Promotion Is Really Annoying!

AVG Protection
1

I have been using AVG Internet Security for many years, but an getting really fed up with all the self promotion averts for their products.
(1) Today AVG pushed a message out for users to take part in a survey on my PC laptop. I thought I would so clicked on it… What did I get? A 404 error page saying that the page could not be found!!!.

(2). Repeated pushed adverts to sell me AVG VPN services. This is despite the fact that I am already using another suppliers VPN !!!

(3) I have allowed AVG to shut down several programes till I need them, Is it really necessary to inform me that AVG is starting I the program that I selected??? I know I started up the wanted program, so the AVG notice is irrelevant and annoying…

(4) Repeated daily add's for AVG Tune Up, Despite the fact I'm already using one from another software vender. The add.s for using AVG on my mobile phone despite the fact it is already on my mobile phone.

(5) Most of these irrelevant ad's are scaremongering for people that are not to familiar with compute-ring. Not a good way to advertise the AVG company.

AVG is good as a protection product, but all these unnecessary pushed ad's are making me think that when my current subscription runs out I will terminate the subscription and move over to another suppler that is not so intrusive.

IS THERE A WAY TO SOP ALL THESE INTRUCIVE AD's AND FLAGED NOTIFICATIONS???
