[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1027303, member: 19756"] Popups for upgrades are showing up for the free version (not Avast One Essentials, which had similar scores as Windows Security, if not lower). Everything is set to game and silent mode, with any notifications disabled. I switched to AVG free to see what happens; its bench scores are slightly higher than AO. I'll see what happens because webpages appear to load faster with it than with Avast. Also, for now I see no popups. Finally, the highest scores were from Kaspersky Free, but when I load multiple pages in browsers half don't complete (there's a similar problem with Bitdefender Free). Also, popups for upgrades still show up even after I disable any notifications related to it. [/QUOTE]
