If you turn on gaming mode in the settings you won't get any pop ups

Lately it seems like Avast has been having a royal butt-ton of these stupid ad things come up, and I just want to know if it's possible to turn them off. I do have Avast Free, BTW.

Is that...... Vista?

Windows XP Home Edition SP3. :P

 

Security Essentials FTW.

 

Doesn't slow down, doesn't interfere (doesn't protect shhh)

Yeah, it didn't protect worth a crap when I used to use it religiously.

 He had to, because XP.

How dare you call my precious XP Vista. It wouldn't run.

 

And my god people, Vista isn't as bad now. Give it a fucking rest.

Can't believe I breezed over that option when I was setting it up. Muchas gracias.

Vista works, guys, but only on Vista Hardware, it was too far ahead for it's time to be honest.

 

It's very similar to Windows 7 and 8 anyway, only slightly slower.

 

Linux it terrible btw. Ever tried installing a .tar.gz file without consulting how in the first place? I think not

Compatible with Windows 95

CLEAN YOUR DAMN COMPUTER. You have one of the nastiest infections in the world trying to get you.

Delete download folders, temp folders.

Run every malware program in my sig.

 

You are really infected.

Calm thyself.

I don't want to until people realize that it isn't that bad.

Nope. I've been getting this on all of my computers lately (even the ones at my grandma's).
