Many Avira Free users are annoyed by the popup which appears after the signature update, and I am also one of them. So, I decided to show you how to prevent that popup from appearing.
The popup looks similar to this:
Note: Before you start, I have to tell you that it works only on:
What's gonna be affected:
On the on-demand scan window, the Virus Information button will stop functioning. I don't think it's important at all as you can find information about viruses by going to their website.
Other than that, I don't know any effects does this method leave behind it.
So now, let's start!
1. Open the start menu.
2.
4. Go to the folder Additional Rules, and then right click on the box at the right and click on New Path Rule...
5. Click on Browse... and then go to the program files folder of Avira Antivir and locate the file avnotify.exe and then click on OK. Select the Security Level to be Disallowed and then click on OK.
6. Done! Now you have no Avira popups again.
Hope this helps you
