I installed Avast six weeks or so ago, and I got tired of its endless
nagging, so I went back to MSE (which is probably a bad idea). So I can
sympathize. Although maybe I mean AVG - I tried and got rid of both, so
my memories are a bit tangled now.

And I'm glad that you were receptive to people's suggestions. It shows
that you're not closed minded :-)

Stunbling Bloch, just a rt click on the Avast icon in the taskbar and
selecting (Silent Gaming Mode) and no more pop-ups until the computer is
rebooted. Small price to pay for the quality of the free Avast AV, IMO.


Except I really have come to think it was AVG :-)

But either way, I'm not planning to go back there at the moment.

Anyway, the message that I hated most was the one that pops up *at boot
time* telling me every single time what I already knew about protections
I didn't enable and so forth. They included some things that I had no
reason to want, IMO.
