Yea, that doesn't work. I've been an AVG user for years and years and as soon as my subscription is up I'm dumping AVG. These popups are ridiculous. I paid for your software, I shouldn't be getting advertisements from you. Software companies are not advertisting agencies.
You lost a customer. I've been using your product since Grisoft was an infant.
Hello Don & Ford,
Once you open AVG Zen interface, you should see 4 tiles on it. The first one should read Internet Security. Please click on that to further launch AVG Internet Security interface and follow the instructions provided.
AVG keeps repeating the same thing over and over and over
[
1. Open AVG program.
2. Click "Options" on the right top corner and select "Advanced Settings".
3. Select Appearance on the left panel of the settings.
4. Please uncheck the checkbox "AVG Advisor Notification" .
5. Then in left side please look for Privacy Preference and select it.
6. Now please untick first option in right side.
7. Click "Ok" to save the changes."

One small problem, there is not an "Advanced Settings" for Internet Security anymore.
AVG Internet Security
Software Version 17.4.3014 (Last update on Jun 11,2017)
How about some relevant assistance with a current product instead of the same canned response to numerous customer complaints about unwanted "Hey buy this" ads in your paid products.
Even this link regitates the same information.

However, at least indicates that if you have Internet Security-Unlimited that these instructions may not apply. However, it does not provide any information if those settings do not apply. Well, in my opinion, that makes it pretty damn "limited" as I cannot disable these repeated ads for VPN, PC Tuneup, and other products that if I had an interest in purchasing I would have already. Pro Tip, do keep trying to sell to your customers in your products. It tends to piss them off.
And here we go again, another bunch of AVG popups every day. "A free gift for you", "your system suffers from clutter", "you are being tracked", "right now, you data is for sale".
Can you please give it a rest?
Sorry, but that does nothing. I changed all of my settings to 0 and the popups still keep appearing until I X them out.
I an running AVG ZEN build 1.113.2.50020 and there is NO Options button (only Settings) nor any Advanced Settings (only Device settings), nor any of the other menus you mention.
Now what?
How do I get rid of this cra…junk, or do I need to scrap AVG - which I have quite happily used and recommended for probably almost 20 years - and find a less trouiblesome program?
Your developers should better work quick. I´ve paid for AVG Internet Security 2017 - Unlimited Version, and these annoying marketing pop-ups will certainly prevent me from paying once again, when my account expires.
Shawn, Thank you for reaching out to AVG with your concerns. Many AVG users find these offers useful: they rely on them to upgrade to our higher levels of protection. By doing so, they help fund the free version of the protection. But AVG do understand the repeated appearance of the same message is frustrating and they are working to improve your experience.
Thank you for understanding.

Most people know "marketing speak" when they see it and the statement "they are working to improve your experience" is a red-card worthy foul.
AVG has lost my trust and business.
How do I stop AVG popups that try to get me to buy PRO or tell me I have a gift?
Bob,
We are aware of the popups and we can understand how annoying this could be. Our developers are working hard to implement an option to decrease the marketing popups.

K L,
The feedback regarding campaign pop ups in AVG 2017 version has been submitted already. In the latest version of AVG, the campaign pop up frequency can not be changed. Click the “Menu” button at the top right corner of the AVG Antivirus window and select “Settings”.AVG displays regular popup notifications, expand the “Popups” section. You can set different durations for information, update, warning, and alert popups. For example, you may want to disable info and update popups by setting them to “0” but leave warning and alert popups enabled.

Look at the previous posts. The one from technician Avinash suggested that, and mine says that I tried that with no results. Sorry, try another suggestion.
I understand that AVG FREE is free for a reason, but your marketing is driving me crazy. It does not inspire me to spend money only to have the same end results.
