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)

And you wont get this annoying popup any more :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20292179 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 14:11:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20290369 AllisLost : "Small price to pay for an excellent top of the line free AV.

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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20290369 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 01:00:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20285502 Kerodo : Any method which prevents 'avnotify.exe' from executing will eliminate any and all nag screens.

Many of us have long used the free version of Avira without ever seeing one.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20285113 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:53:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20285108 Dustyn : That's pretty funny!
NOD32 all the way for me! :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20285108 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:52:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20285037 Psicop : 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!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20285037 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:40:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20284986 dannyboy 950 : 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.
