Some people find that Avast antivirus is annoying because it floods them with notifications, messages, and alerts with its memorable sound. Sometimes the sound is so loud that it shocks them.
Most of these notifications are just a way of advertising the premium service, and they have no relation to computer protection. So it’s safe to disable them so they won’t appear in the future.
To disable AVAST’s notifications and pop-ups, simply turn on “Silent Mode.” This will stop most pop-ups and notifications from appearing, which will allow you to focus on the important things.
With Silent Method enabled, you’ll never have to worry about pesky pop-ups again. The antivirus software will keep your computer safe while you’re using it.
The Silent Mode in Avast can be used to prevent notifications while you’re working on your computer or playing a video game. To enable it, just go to the “Settings” menu on the main screen and under “General” look for “Silent Mode.” The Silent Mode will turn on by default, but there is a side effect. This mode will prevent you from being notified when there are important updates or security threats, so it’s important to choose which notifications you want to receive.

Avast’s other major annoyance is its constant notifications. I appreciate notifications if I’ve gotten a virus, but I don’t need them every time it updates virus definitions or every time it wants me to upgrade to Avast premium. Thankfully, this can be easily fixed by checking a box.

You can choose whether or not to receive notifications after automatic updates are done. By unchecking the “Show Notification Box after Automatic Update” box, you’ll avoid any extra messages. This one box disables both virus definition updates and ads.

There are other features you may want to tweak on your computer. This means adjusting certain settings to make it work better for you.
There are a few other settings we recommend checking out when making a trip through the settings. Among these are the language and region settings.
- Avast! Community: In the General settings section of the Avast! the app, you may want to disable the “Participate in the Avast! You can choose not to have the app collect anonymous data if you want.
- Software Updater Notifications: If you want to disable the sounds made by the Software Updater, you can do so by checking a separate box in Settings > Tools > Software Updater.

Some of the settings you’re looking at here may not be as bothersome as the main sound and popup features, but they’re worth considering nonetheless.
