Options menu

Hi.

I'm using AVG free version 17.  I wanted to turn off the annoying popups that AVG insists on displaying several times a day.  I saw a support topic that said to go into advanced settings under options menu.

I look at my AVG Antivirus screen (NOT Zen) and there is no options menu in the upper right.  Only a menu dropdown and that does not take me to advanced settings.  How do I get to advanced settings?

Thank you.

Hello Scott,
We regret for the inconvenience caused. Please be informed that they our legitimate business campaign popup to try our AVG feature once. After using that you have to purchase license for it. This campaign popups cannot be stopped as it is our only way for marketing our latest programs. We request our customers to ignore such popups if they aren't interested to try it.
Thank you.

I'm using the paid version of AVG and my subscription goes on until 2019. If this problem is not solved I'll be gone long before then. Can no longer disable temporarily and it duffs up saving in Excel. Infuriating. Why change something that's worked fine for years?

No good R clicking in tray. That doesn't bring options up, either.

Hello Betty,

I understand that you keep receiving AVG pop-ups. If it is, please do not worry, we have added a new settings in AVG Internet Security to stop this campaign pop-ups from AVG. Please open AVG Internet Security installed in your computer and click on Menu->Settings->General->Pop-ups->Uncheck the option "Show campaign pop-ups for other AVG products". This will stop all campaign pop-ups from AVG.

If you face any difficulties, feel free to contact us.
