How the hell do I stop AVG from popping up adverts for it's own products?
I just bought 20 licences for a big client as this happens, and quite honestly I'm sending the whole lot back and buying something else which is ad-free as the client thinks I've installed a free version!
Any ideas?
Cheers for the tip Alan.
Dear Balasubramanian/AVG, this sort of thing...
Alan, seriously... I know that and it's SPAM!!!!
Richard, 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.

The good news is, I've found many complaints on Facebook which means I'm not alone in thinking this is spam from AVG.
I didn't sign up or asked to be spammed by AVG for new products, so will take my business elsewhere if that's how AVG runs it's business.
I've got all notifications switched off in my AVG setup, so why can't it acknowledge those settings at the very least!
