Stopping AVG ads from appearing

I need a way to stop AVG from constantly offering me the latest deal just because I am using the free version. When it pops the ad, it interupts my application and forces the ad to become the active window in front. I need this to stop if I am going to continue using this product.

There is no such things as a legitimate campaign pop-up. I was not asked and do not agree to them. They are:
1) Frequent
2) Intrusive - they interupt running applications and force themselves to the foreground
3) No opt-in
4) No opt-out
5) Repeat even if declined

Please do more than escalate this issue. I would consider this a break/fix that requires an immediate patch or update to disable them completely until this policy can be reviewed and brought in line with common industry practice and laws regarding opt-in/opt-out. This is costing you customers and reputation on a daily basis. A quick search of your community shows multiple posts about this exact same issue.

Hello Peter,
We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Our customers may get legitimate campaign pop-ups to promote our product which has advanced features. Please note that these pop-ups are temporary.

We have already escalated such cases to the concerned department and they are working on it. AVG carefully monitors the quality of our products and the service we provide, therefore all feedback from our customers is important to us. Our development team will see to this and will fix it in the upcoming updates.
Thank you.

Peter is not alone in being irritated; these adverts are driving me to distraction.  If they don't stop soon, I will be uninstalling AVG.
