| I have used AVG Free antivirus for many years now. Recently, a new version - V7.0 - replaced the venerable V6. V7 has new bells and whistles, including auto-update, but the new installation pops up balloons when working, and adds text to the outgoing and incoming email. Fortunately, these annoyances can be turned off. Here's how. | |
| 1 | Right-click the AVG icon in your system tray (bottom right corner of taskbar), and launch the AVG Control Center. |
| 2 |
Right-click "Email Scanner" in the main pane, and click "Properties". |
| 3 |
In the "Properties" box, click, the "Configure" button and uncheck the two "Certify Mail" boxes. |
| 4 | Click the "OK" button. |
| 5 |
Next, click the "Properties" button and clear the "Show notification icon" and "Show information window" boxes. |
| 6 |
Click "OK" and then OK again. Minimize the AVG Control Centre. |
| 7 | You're done! |
