>>>If anyone else has been driven crazy lately by AVG popup advertising, and have noticed that there isn't a way to turn it off anymore - here's help.
>>>
>>>Disable AVG (the default 10 minutes is fine)
>>>In Windows Explorer navigate to Program Files (86) /AVG /AV
>>>Delete these folders: Awacs, Banners, Tuneup
>>>Restart AVG

>>>I realize that they need to sell their product, but the popups are in the paid version, too. AVG has morphed into Adware.
>>>
>>>I hope this helps!

>>What's wrong with uninstall and use defender, ad-block, NoScript? Viruses are no problem anymore and against ransomware it will do nothing anyway.

>>Only solution is wetware.
