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.

Best Answer chosen by Jan (AVG Technologies) Jan (AVG Technologies) Hello everyone,
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.

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
The precise version of AVG is 2015.0.6189, and the OS is Windows 7 Professional.

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.

Best Answer chosen by Zbynek (AVG Technologies) Luis FierroHad same problem. Followed advise on another chat to stop "Windows Installer" in Task Manager and then run the AVG update. Worked fine. Seems to be a bug in Windows 10.
DAVID NICHOLLS INSTALLING AVG FREE 2015
ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL AVG FREE 2015, I RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE JUST AS INSTALLATION FILES ARE DOWNLOADED:
"Error loading type library/DLL (0xC007001D)"
I CAN WORK AROUND THIS BY INSTALLING AVG FREE V.9 WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.

Best Answer chosen by Zbynek (AVG Technologies) DAVID NICHOLLSDear Avinash ~ I am afraid to say that the two applicable download installation files AVG_Antivirus_Free_692.exe and AVG_Antivirus_Free_x86_694.exe (32 bit) on the above link:
http://www.avg.com/us-en/download.prd-afh-free produce the same error message as posted at the very top of this thread.
However, SUCCESS! SUCCESS! using:
http://files-download.avg.com/inst/av/avg_free_x86_all_2015_ltst_222.exe, kindly offered by Norton Fern above and obtained from: https://www.techmesto.com/avg-2015-offline-installer-standalone/
The installation file worked perfectly and I am now running AVG Antivirus Free 2015 (Build 6140).
Somehow, AVG, it would seem a critical "difference" has crept into some of your installation files.

Best Answer chosen by John CartwrightMaxime Le DongeSame here. Temporarily disabling AVG kind of does the trick, it load the mails, but all attached files downloads show as failed, and won't go through. I did upgrade to 2015 just in case, to no avail.
We can't "just" disable temporarily several times a day, we're going to need a proper fix guys. As in, an update. Thanks in advance. :)
