WTF - POPUPS FROM HELL - 3 Quick Tips to Avoid Malware & hackers -- DONT INSTALL AVG

So I have been using AVG for a long ass time(Years).  Now this bullshit popup every 10 fucking minutes.

AVG is getting uninstalled as we speak.  Time to get a better product that will not pop up bullshit ads every 10 god damn minutes. WTF.

Here is a screenshot.

Any news here?  Are these annoying pop ups going to continue every10 minutes unless you pay?  I tried disabling the AVG Advisor Notifications but that did not stop the pop ups.

Jana,
We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Could you please try the steps in this article http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-Change-the-Frequency-of-Pop-Up-Notifications to change the frequency of the campaign pop ups in AVG. Thank you
Jana MartinJana Martin
Thanks that helped - popup disappeared after lowering the frequency. :-)

Hi! I'm having a similar problem today as Jana above, where a quarter of my screen (lower right corner) is blocked and I have no means of getting it removed as I can't locate any 'Close' button. I have tried the suggestion above of changing the notifications frequency but the problem still persists. Attached is an image of what it looks like. Please help, thanks in advance.

Hello Amit,
Thank you for posting your query here. Could you let us know whether it is a free version or a paid version of AVG? Did you try to set the frequency of campaign pop ups in your AVG program as suggested above?
Chris RyanChris Ryan
I have the same problem using the free version. I set the frequency following the instructions, but that does nothing to the pop-up itself once it appears. There's still no close button for the "3 quick tips" pop-up and I have no way to clear it.
