[QUOTE="moonshine, post: 72334, member: 121"] Hi guys! I know some of the AVG users out there are pretty ticked off by the advertising at the bottom of the UI. So here's a quick workaround that will shut off that Ad for good! Step 1: First and foremost, we need to disable AVG itself so that the fix will work. To do this, just disable AVG through the Icon Tray. [img]http://i.imgur.com/6lEbs.png[/img] Step 2: Open an Explorer Windows and go to Organize, then Folder and Search Options then go to View Tab and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types then hit apply. [img]http://i.imgur.com/4StL4.png[/img] Step 3: Go to Program Files, then AVG then finally, AVG2013. Inside that folder, you'll find a file named bnfree.mht. This the file that we need to change so that pesky ad in the UI will be removed. Just rename it to something like bnfree.bak. [img]http://i.imgur.com/PtfqM.png[/img] Step 4: After doing all those step, just do a restart and you'll finally see that the annoying Notification at the bottom of the UI is gone.
