On the AVG AntiVirus Free interface screen there are four gray squares across the middle of the screen with the subjects: Antivirus Free, PC TuneUp, Secure VPN and Web TuneUp.
Click on the AntiVirus Free square. This will bring you to a new interface.
Click on Menu at the top right hand corner of the screen. Select Settings.
Under the General tab uncheck the box that says "Enable AVG email signature".
Version: 17.4.3014

Me too, I unchecked, but it still continue with email signature.
It is unpleasant also because of a bad text encoding:
"Questa email è stata esaminata..."
We are sorry for the inconvenience. It seems that you are using the email client. Please follow these steps and check if this resolves your issue: Open AVG > Menu > Settings > Components > Email protection > Customize > Behavior > uncheck "Insert note into clean message (outgoing)" and save the settings.

Thank you for your feedback. AVG email signature is enabled by default in AVG Settings. Please open AVG Internet Security/ Antivirus> Settings> General> Uncheck "Enable AVG Email signature". You can find your posts under pending approval tab, we won't delete our customer's posts.

I certainly understand your concern. AVG email signature is enabled by default in AVG Settings. It shouldn't appear after disabling it.

I can understand your concern. Please follow the below steps and disable the email signature from AVG in your computer.
There are two types of signatures - one is added to e-mails sent using e-mail client (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird...) and the other is added to e-mails sent from the web browser (e.g. Gmail.com). There are individual settings to disable those signatures.
1. E-mail client
- Go to AVG > Menu > Settings > Components > Email protection > Customize > Behavior > uncheck "Insert note into clean message (outgoing)" option and save the settings.
2. Web mail
- Go to AVG > Menu > Settings > General > uncheck "Enable AVG email signature" option and save settings.
If you face any difficulties, feel free to contact us.
I regret for the inconvenience caused. Please let me know the exact issue you are facing with AVG, so we can provide you the best solution.

I apologize for the inconvenience.
To analyze the issue further, I need to submit your concern to our senior technicians along with other diagnostic logs. Please provide your Internet browser name and email client provider. Also, I have sent you an email with steps on how to collect and upload the data required for analyzing your issue. Please check your inbox and spam/junk folder as well
It's either intentionally wrongly set up for advertising or sloppily coded and would be an incredibly easy fix, and I see from these forums that people have been having this problem for at least a year. Fix it!
I understand how difficult this is for you. This subject is preferred by some of the customers to make sure that their incoming and outgoing emails are scanned. We will also inform this to the senior team and make sure to check.
I just got to this thread, because I also would like to remove the email signature (for incoming mails) that appears in thunderbird since beginning of June last year.
Using the German version of Antivirus Free, I do have the email signature deactivated. However, I dont't have the checks for "insert note info" in the behavior options.
I have now deactivated scanning the incoming emails as well (scanning of outgoing emails was deactivated already), in order to just prevent that unliked signature. However, this is not how it should be. If I'd have the option to just deactivate the note, I would be glad, but that's not possible.
I had been happy with AVG for a long time, but the more frequent popup notifications, asking me to buy and use a paid version aside of that email signature have caused the change of my opinion. Therefore, I will probably uninstall AVG after all and switch to use another antivirus software.
Sorry for the trouble, could you share the screenshot of your behavior option and general settings interface where you have unchecked " enable AVG email signature"?
Open AVG Antivirus Free -> Menu -> Settings -> General, take a screenshot of it and then go to Components -> Email Protection -> Customize -> Behavior, share its screenshot. Provide us the version of AVG you have installed and we will try to resolve the issue quickly.
By default, the email signature will be enabled in AVG Antivirus/AVG Internet Security.
If you would like to disable it, open AVG Antivirus/AVG Internet Security interface.
Click on "Menu-->Settings-->Basic Protection-->Email Shield".
You can find the check box saying "Add a signature to the end of sent emails".
Click on the box which will disable that feature and then click on "Close".
Feel free to contact us if you need further help.
Two of my Email adresses are used for bussiness, so I cant afford to have tacky adverts from third parties forced into my bussiness messages.
I will be removing AVG completley as this seems to be the only long term solution.

I am trying to remove the AVG logo from my Outlook email on my computer as it is my business email and I cannot have third-party info in it. Additionally, it seems to flag itself as every email I receive an email, it will not download the AVG pictures and I have to click the link to make sure I'm not missing smething sent from a client every time. I tried the procedure for removing from web-based email, which worked. However, I have no options to remove the logo from my incoming email on by PC-based Outlook email. The above instructions say to click on "Components", but I don't have that option. Please advise how to remove this from my Outlook PC emails.
We're glad to look into this & help you.
The steps provided in this post was for the previous version of AVG program. To keep the conversation simple & check the product details in your account, write back to us in your own/individual post.
While writing back, share us the screenshot of the email signature that you receive in the incoming email.
Thank you for your understanding in advance!
Menu -> Settings -> Basic Protection -> Email Shield
The checkbox is "Add signature to the end of sent emails". Hope this helps!
Anybody using this product that was not aware and reads this should also evaluate whether they think this is reasonable behaviour.
Disgusting.
