Morisato Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 1. Stop using the Free version and purchase the Pro when on sale. (Free is NOT what it was anymore after Avast takeover) 2. Start using a firewall (should be basic standard for any PC user) and block: analytics.ff.avast.com CCUpdate.exe (probably not needed after 5.50 update) To be really specific, I have blocked everything except: 151.101.54.202 (Check for updates) 3. Set Updates to 'manual' and uncheck everything in Privacy. (Needs 5.50 update) 4. Use a *cough*alternate*cough* version 5. Uninstall and use another similar software I get no ads, popups, or forced updates. Most of the users complaining here are either on the Free version and/or don't use any firewall whatsoever.

By bark, you mean the Action Center? Think there was a way to disable its complaining if you don't use any AV/Firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
