  1. These instructions are all over the web yet they didn’t work for me. I even went as far as temporarily disabling AVG while I followed other instructions to remove the popups. Sadly nothing worked. There has to be some way to stop them from appearing every time I turn on my computer. I will keep searching.

  2. In my version of AVG Free, the Options menu does not have an “Advanced settings” option. It has “MyAccount,” “Buy Now,” and “About AVG.” In the “About AVG” window I get see Program File Version: 16.91.7690. I think I’ll just switch to a different program or rely on MSE.
