How to stop notifications that AVG has stopped email threat

AVG continually pops up notification that it has stopped a threat how do I stop this. It is just telling me that it is working but poping up over what ever i am doing and is annoyingly difficult to to remove let alone stop. The web based solution is utterly worthless rubbish. I have had AVG for years and rely on it but this is driving me to distraction, right in the middle of the screen as I am typing or reading bang, AVG lets me know it has done exactly what is meant to do. It like having a every thing is working light in your car.
