Avira wants to be shure you know about their products
Even if one should block their notifier say with your firewall. Avira has an advertisement made just for the occasion. Apparently part of the origional install since it does not get to connect to the internet to retrieve it.
That's why I never ended up using that damn AV. If they offer for free they should do it all the way like Avast of AVG. To me a half cooked meal is not a real meal. LOL!
reply to dannyboy 950 "Small price to pay for an excellent top of the line free AV. It never bothered me and there are effective ways to block it."
Amen. Nag screen - schmag screen, it's all about detection for me. Although I'll admit, after years of using Classic I finally capitulated and went Premium. Looking forward to ver 8...any day now.
reply to dannyboy 950 Solution: (if using windows xp that is)Vista fix is similar but if you know how to manage ntfs file permissions you should be able to figure it out.
Turn off Simple File Sharing Navigate to avira install directory Right click on avnotify.exe Go to properties Go to security tab Deny System Read, Read + Execture Permissions. You will have to redo this occasionally, been about 4 months since i had to (When avnotify itself is updated)
