Frank Bertelsen I have had enough of your fucking pop-ups. :(
I have had enough of your fucking campaign crap. Your constant pop-ups are more annoying than any pop-ups your software is supposed to get rid of. I am better off not running your freaking selfpromoting shit at all.
It is amazing that you morons cannot make a piece of software, which is supposed to help us get rid of annoyances, without it being an annoyance itself.
I am now uninstalling your crap, and changing to another provider, that does not constantly spam their users with annoying pop-ups, and I am going to advice everybody I know to do the same.

We do understand your concern but to promote our products we can do only through campaign popups. It is our only way of marketing our new programs.
We request you to submit your feedback to us via http://www.avg.com/product-feedback .
Thank you.
Thank you.
you have to stop what you are doing to remove them.
I think you have made a big mistake with this campaign. I fully appreciate that you are providing a free service, and self advertising is to be expected, but once a week is perfectly acceptable, pushing it daily on start up is unacceptable, its spamming, and is more likely to make users determined never ever to buy anything from AVG. The popups look and feel like malware, theres no information just the the statement that your security isn't complete and download now.
Once a week with a few lines to tell us what you are pushing and why we need it, would surely reap better results, instead of hitting the close button without even looking, a few of us might read the information and go and check it out on the website and decide to buy whatever it is. As it is its a total waste of your time.
Another thing is that it is totally unnessecary to make pop-ups like these. I have used AVG for many many years, and I know that there is a paid version with extra features. I know this from visiting your site occationally. I know this from when I originally installed the free version. I did not learn about this from your stupid pop-ups. The only thing they have made me do is scrap your software and start using something else. If I wanted the full version, don't you think that I already would have it, and pay for it? It is like you don't use your brains. I do not need to have a reminder shoved in my face every day, and tell me that something exists. I only need to be told about something once, to know that it exits? This repetitive pushing stuff onto us: "won't you please please by the full version, then we will stop bothering you?" is nothing but annoying, and it doesn't work with me. You act like children, begging for something several times a day, until you hopefully get what you want in the end. Well, you won't get it from me, that is for sure.

Lol. That would be a refreshing change.
AVG used to be the greatest by a LONG way. Now it's more intrusive and annoying that some of the malware it's supposed to get rid of. I'm uninstalling too.

No it is not. Your main goal is to make money by forcing onto people something they don't want. Stop with your lies. If you want to keep your customers happy then stop with your selfpromoting annoyances.
Looked for ways to stop them but the only sure way seems to be to uninstall AVG
I am going to remove AVG as soon as I logout of this community Blog
Seriously pissed off with this software.
Tony

But better still: Switch to another virus protection.

We can understand your concern. You can setup the frequency for AVG marketing popups as mentioned in this article: http://avgread.me/29lFofA .
Please feel free to contact us if you need any assistance.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.
The AVG campaign popup that appears should close when you click on the close button.
Unfortunately, in rare instances it may not respond.
We will help you with that. Have you tried reinstalling the AVG Protection program once?
Are you using the free, trial or paid version?
I don't mean to belittle you guys, but I design heavy workclass ROVs for the Oil and Gas industry. The last thing I have a need for on my HOME PC is to have your advertising thrown in my face as I'm trying to develop a new node-hub.
Grow up AVG.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If it is a paid version of AVG that you are using, you can disable campaign pop ups from AVG as suggested below.
Open AVG Internet Security, click on Menu->Settings->General->Pop- Ups. Then uncheck "Stop pop up offers for other AVG products".
I had a friend one time who swore upon AVG and when I ran applications from GitHub, Sourceforge, PortableApps.com, etc., False positives every 30 seconds! Seriously? Is this how you treat the FOSS community? I had to boot a Ubuntu live USB on his AVG-encumbered computer just to get anything done. And AVG hosed my Ubuntu USB key because some file required for its operation in E:\casper (/media/some/mount_point/casper in Linux) was a Trojan? This was the squashfs file, the compressed live Linux environment, gone!
This is why y'all suck. AVG ruins computers. Linux saves them.
My apologies for any inconvenience caused. The frequency of pop ups can be controlled directly from the app (please open AVG Internet Security > menu > settings > general > Pop ups > manage your pop ups). If you're using AVG Internet Security paid version, then you can uncheck the box "show pop up offers for other AVG Products" in general settings, it will stop all the AVG promotional pop ups.
Best regards,
Alok.
Please let us know if it is a free or paid version of AVG that you are using.
DItch the windblows, delete the scammers, spammers, popups and crammers. End the circle of virus creation.
simply Install any Linux distro.
I blow my nose at you filthy KKKKniggits! plbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbl
oh and Fuck off... that's right fuck right off. nah nah nah nah.
Unfortunately avg and their different software applications and their own website they set-up for you the subscriber are not High Tech. A true let down on such a brilliant idea of improving, protecting your PC to produce such an unproffesional personal website that does not recognise you the subscriber has subscribed within avg a package that now superceeds an old one.... could do better tut tut thanks anyway......I HOPE SOMEONE LISTENS so improvements can be made!
Usually AVG provides pop up for other AVG programs in order to improvize/personalize the existing program. However, the program allows us to disable those notifications. If activation is not done properly, our program will notify you the same.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are glad to pass it to our concern team for consideration in future.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
However, we request you to refrain from using profanity in this public forum.
Let us clarify this for you. Many of our users find these offers useful: they rely on them to upgrade to our higher levels of protection.
We also handpick offers from our other 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. See the 'How to Change the Frequency of Pop-Up Notifications' article for details how to change it.
Thank you for understanding.
If AVG program asks you to purchase the product, then the possibility is that the program is not recognizing your paid subscription.
In such cases, we request customers to perform activation from then users will not be getting notices to purchase the subscription for the ones that they have already paid.
Thank you.
ROFLMAO!!!
I created an account just to write this. I used to use AVG years ago and was going to try it out again. After reading this thread, you guys are worse than the viruses I'm trying to protect my PC from.
This thread is coming on to 6 YEARS OLD!!! And you guys still haven't learnt so that can only mean that there aren't that many people leaving the platform vs joining/using to justify a change in business model. Hard selling must be working since you're still in business. But to treat the free users like second class citizens/peasants/dirt/slaves and telling them to just deal with it or do this to "lower" the frequency of pop up is just dumbfounding.
Basically, your business motto is, "We don't want broke asses or cheap bastards leeching off of our technology so we'll bombard you with unclosable popups until you comply. Even when you pay, sometimes you'll still get these popups! Enjoy!" or "PAY OR ELSE"
Wow! Just WOW! SMH
This isn't the experience we want you to have.
From your message, it is obvious that you're upset. We'd like to look into this & help you.
To proceed further, we'd suggest you to write back to us in your own post.
Thank you for your understanding in advance!
