How to stop status update pop-ups in AVG Zen Android?

I've just installed AVG Zen on all our home Andriod phones and tablets as we have AVG products installed. However, every time someone on any device does something EVERYONE gets a status update pop-up on their phone....very annoying. My wife wants Zen uninstalled because she's fed up with the pointless updates (its of no concern to her of my status of my phone on hers). I've gone through the Help and Settings but there seems to be no way of switching off the status updates apart from uninstalling Zen on the devices.

Hi Alan,

The AVG Zen is for the administrator only - to see the notifications - in this case I gues it's you. On your wife's device just download the AVG for Android or AVG Cleaner - no AVG Zen - and join those apps to the Zen network. This way only you will receive the notifications and only you will be able to manage other's devices. Your wife will have a peace in mind, not receiving notifications but knowing that you are taking care of her device.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns or questions.

Have a good day,

Jan

Thanks Jan. I've uninstalled AVG Zen from my wife's phone. I thought you needed AVG Zen installed on all your computers for the license to work. Anyway, it sounds like that is not the case. All fixed now. thanks.
