Free versions don't include tech support.Īvast has aswClean program for it. What makes me angry is 'The Avast Team' (team of what?) asked a question BUT NEVER CAME BACK TO FOLLOWUP! I even tried calling the 'help' number in the bottom right corner & was connected to a guy in India who told me he couldn't/wouldn't help because it was the free version!Ĭlassic. Also do you know how hard it is to DELETE Avast/AVG? And like I said in my other post there isn't an X or anyway to delete it, it just stays up until I minimize it. P.S: I am surprised there Avast Team had an account. Otherwise shows a corruption, uninstall with Avast Removal Tool and reinstall. However if you are on free ads rarely ever pop and they go off after 5 seconds, if not you need to let it open and close it. Programs and Settings->Uninstall Avast->in the first screen it should say 'Do you want to switch back to free version?' do so.

If you are on the paid version most of the annoyance can be relieved fallign back to free version. I should have known you would hijack my computer just to sell me more stuff! But I made the MISTAKE of hitting the welcome gift button. So don't tell me that Avast isn't compatible because the free version downloaded just fine. I still use Vista (I can't afford a new computer).

PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF IT! I shouldn't have to go through a bunch of steps just to get rid of it. I tried to get a screenshot but it wouldn't take. Hopefully this information can give you some peace of mind, but if you'd like to double-check for the presence of any adware or malware on your system causing problems, feel free to contact our support team and we'd be happy to investigate the issue further.It's the 'welcome gift' popup. If you're encountering the alert repeatedly on the same websites, you might want to e-mail the admin for the website and let them know that some of the ads they're serving are the scammy fake antivirus popups.

Since the popups originate from ads on various websites, this would explain the behavior that you're seeing. What I think is happening is that Avast has a content filter component, and is basically blocking those scam popups from appearing while you surf the web. They usually charge between $200 to $400 for this 'service.'

If you call the 1-800 number, the scammers will have you install remote access software so they can take control of your system to 'fix' the problem. Obviously, your system isn't really infected, but the pop-ups can be quite persistent, getting to the point of locking up your web browser by respawning the minute you close one out. Basically, what happens is these scammers buy ad space on a number of sites (or through third party ad providers), and through the magic of javascript pop up an alert notifying you that your system is infected, and that you should call their 1-800 number to get it fixed. I found a reference to the site you mentioned over on VirusTotal, and from other domains associated with that IP address it looks like this is the case of a fake antivirus alert scam popup.
