I agree Avast is somewhat basic with everything based on signatures, and you can set it to gaming mode so there are no pop ups whatsoever however if it runs into a threat it will not inform you either so you have to take note of that. Other than that there aren't any other features such as sandboxing (sandboxing will happen if the application causes Avast to do a deepscreen scan before it is executed).
Another one would be Avira, if you set it to automatic mode there won't be any popups at all, including the quick scan after it detects threats, which you also have to take note. However with Avira you won't be able to activate gaming mode (to block all popups) unless you are using a premium. Although Avira also has a cloud, the default is to automatically scan suspicious files in the cloud without any interaction with the user so i wouldn't count that as a problem.
