Kill AVG's stupid pop-up ads

How do I kill AVG's incessant, never-ending pop-out ads that jump at me even during a presentation. I can't find any place that lets me kill them. Obviously the jerks at AVG have hidden this.

Mark,
We would like to take this as your valuable feedback and pass it up to our developers. However, you can disable campaign pop ups completely as you are using a paid version of AVG. Please provide a screenshot ( http://avgclick.me/getscreenshot ) of the AVG interface you are looking at to assist you further. Click on 'Answer' & then click on the 'Image' [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.

Hello, Mark.

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns. Many of our users find these offers useful. We handpick them from our own products or those of partners we feel can add to your security or digital experience.
Also the frequency of pop ups can be controlled directly from the app or can be even turned off. Open AVG Internet Security, click on Menu->Settings->General->Pop - Ups. Then uncheck "Show pop up offers for other AVG products".

Gone there. No sign of "Menu" anywhere. I'm sure that is by design to keep people for killing those stupid pop-ups that are unwanted and unrequested. I bought the software but will NOT do so again.

Thank you for providing the screenshot, Mark.
You are looking for the option in a wrong place. The settings that I provided earlier to stop campaign pop ups must be followed on AVG Internet Security app which is installed on your PC.
Double click on 'AVG' icon on your desktop to open AVG Internet Security. Then click on Menu->Settings->General->Pop - Ups. Uncheck "Show pop up offers for other AVG products".
