Yes, this is basically a hack to keep the unimportant popups from showing up at all. You will want to know about warnings and alerts (the next two options), so don’t set their duration to 0. To remove just the useless notifications, go to Settings > Popups, and set the time duration for Info and Update popups (the first two options) to 0. However, Silent Mode is not recommended, because it will hide some of the more important notifications. This will even take care of the sounds if you haven’t turned them off already. While not as startling as the sounds, most of these are still very distracting. To banish all Avast notifications forever, turn on Silent/Gaming Mode from the Settings page. Like most anti-malware apps, Avast! displays different notifications/popups for different actions. To mute Avast, go to Settings > Sounds and uncheck the top option that says Enable avast! sounds.ĭisable all or some of the annoying notifications Almost everyone finds them annoying and so will you. Disable all soundsĪvast includes a bizarre array of voice alerts that go off every time it successfully or unsuccessfully completes an action, which include anything from updating itself to catching a malware to blocking an infected website. These updates require restarting of your PC, but that shouldn’t be a problem as they are very infrequent. To enable it, go to the Updates section in Settings, and choose Automatic update under Program. Program updates often fix bugs and close security holes, hence should be installed automatically and as soon as possible.
Enable automatic program updatesĪvast! will automatically download new virus definitions in the background, but only alert you of program updates by default. Thankfully you can rid the program of its annoyances with some easy steps. Avast is one of the better anti-malware apps available for Windows, but it’s not without its flaws.
