John Smith How do I make these AVG popups STOP???
Yesterday AVG popped this message up at me: http://i.imgur.com/xgmGERj.png
I keep getting messages like this popping up from AVG, even though I have system tray notifications turned OFF. I'm getting really sick of seeing these blatant advertisements from AVG, and if there isn't a way to make these messages stop, I will consider AVG to be adware and uninstall it. AVG should work in the background without me having to think about it, these messages are UNACCEPTABLE.

I'd like to announce that it's possible to change the frequency of the advertising pop-ups (even completely disable in paid versions) in the recently updated version of AVG. Please visit this article (http://avgread.me/popups) to find out more.
Regards,
Jan

Garry Cooper Windows 7 Home Premium
Since renewing my AVG protection the Snipping tool is no longer working. When I select it the screen goes black and nothing is visible to be selected. Any suggertions?
Garry.

Best Answer chosen by Garry CooperGarry CooperHi Kishore,
Many thanks for your advice, which I followed. It turned out to be Trusteer Rapport which was causing the problem, so I was able to reset the appropriate setting and now everything works beautifully! I am puzzled however as to why the setting was changed, without my personal input. Many thanks indeed.

Sylvia Gramaine Concerning the "Your online security is incomplete" Notification
Hi,
I have been a long-time user of AVG (more than a decade), and have been satisfied so far with AVG products.
However, recently, a pop-up notification has been appearing, saying that "Your online security is incomplete\nInstall online security features for maximum protection". Here is a screenshot:
I have a separate security solution for online, so I click "No Thanks". This closes the window, and yet it returns a few minutes later.
This is completely unacceptable. Besides being pointless, the window disrupts any fullscreen application. It occurred this weekend during my conference presentation, which was both thoroughly embarrassing and disruptive.
I have not been able to find a solution myself, and the consensus seems to be that:
1: General agreement that this is both annoying and unacceptable
2: The resolution by current AVG representatives has been heretofore unsatisfactory, and with any due respect, borderline incompetent. For example, see this thread.
3: Perhaps a method of advertising that only exists in free versions.
Now, as I wrote, I have been a long-time user of AVG, and I would like to continue to be. The problem is that this is actively damaging to the use of my computer for research. This means that I cannot use AVG, if this continues.
I am writing to ask one question: will you please promptly remove this behavior? If yes, then I will be able to happily continue using your product. If not, then please tell me so in plain words so that I can uninstall AVG and seek an alternate solution. Since it is your software, you are of course permitted to make either choice. But I hope you shall elect to remove this notification, as I do not believe you aim to be driving away your user base.
Thank you for reading,
-S

Best Answer chosen by Sylvia GramaineSylvia Gramaine"If you are getting the same \"Online security\" popup from AVG then it is our legitimate business campaign and it cannot be stopped."
Alright then. Farewell, AVG. It has been a good decade or so, but it's time to call it quits. It's too bad you won't reconsider. But . . . well, I truly hope your marketing campaign works out for you somehow.
Best wishes from me and the lab,
Sylvia.

AVG is aware of this issue and we are working a patch file that will resolve this issue. This error will be fixed automatically by the next AVG update. We appreciate your time and co-operation.
