Jordan Cooperman Turn of ALL notifications
How do I stop all these god damn AVG notifications! I'm not talking about virus notifications, but it's AVG's over aggressive advertising... you don't have this turned on... everyone can see your internet activity and you need VPN... early renewal (3 months in advance)... early renewal.... early renewal... over and over again. Its firkin' ridiculous and some of it boarders on phishing!
Hello Jordan,
We regret the inconvenience this has caused you.
To disable the campaign/promotional pop-ups in your AVG Internet Security, please follow the below steps:
Open AVG Internet Security > Menu > Settings > General > Personal Privacy > Offers.

For better clarity, please refer to this article.
Once you've performed the above actions, restart your computer once & check if the adverts persist.
Keep us updated.

Thank you.
I started the whole discussion chain with my own original seperate post, so now you want me to start another post? This cumbersome support process only magnifies the overall disrespect AVG shows it's customers - I can't reply directly to support emails - it's a do not reply email - and I can't add comments to my own forum post chain. I give up. It's obvious from the other user comments that the early renewal notifications are another of AVG's over agressive marketing tactics that have to be addressed at the macro level, not the individual user settings level. I'm moving on to another software provider and advise all AVG users to do the same until AVG gets the message and scales back on it's marketing tactics.
We are really sorry for the confusion caused. This isn't the expected behavior of AVG program when we set stop offers in privacy settings.
In order to analyze the root cause, we request you to get connected with our additional support. An email instruction has been sent which will help you to get connected. Thank you.
