I have actually PAID for the product and still am harassed in this pesky, unethical way & just needed to register to say how much it annoys me - now I find out after having written an answer or anything, it is not published, but "pending for review". So anything criticizing is being censored, even if it could turn into a productive criticism?
TuneUp once used to be a really nice nifty little tool. Now it is a contemporary, clunky, coersive drag.

I decided to not renew AVG Tuneup – and I'm deluged with messages that a tuneup has been completed, x number of problems have been identified, and I can pay for AVG Tuneup.  How do I stop this?

From what I've read, you can't, short of moving to a better, ad-free product from the competition, which is what I am about to do.
