Avira Free Antivirus popup stopper

[weirddave]

If anyone uses Avira Antivirus and is fed up with the once a day pop-up, here's a simple solution. Insert a link to it in your startup folder and away you go

#NoTrayIcon

While 1=1

WinWait ("Notifier of Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus")

WinClose ("Notifier of Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus")

There are far easier solutions that doesn't require another app to run, search on google....

on top of that: When you need something like this you better add a Sleep(50) to use less CPU.

But WinWait .......

There's only two things that you need to do to fix those:

Go to:

• Local Protection > Guard > Configuration >
• Under Scan go to the Exception list.
• Add "AutoIt3.exe and AutoItSC.bin" to the exception list.

No more annoyances ever.

(that is what happens with the lengthy script ... you only look at it briefly and make stupid remarks)

Can you be more off-topic?

now if valik was strolling by... i wonder what he would have said (to ealric)..

[Ealric]

Can you be more off-topic?

Certainly. When I was 19 you weren't even grazing the seminiferous tabules yet.

And, I had misinterpreted the OP. I thought he was referring to the new changes that Avira posted a few days ago. Namely, they put yet two more adverse false positives into play which annoyingly placed two popups on one of my computers and the fix I supplied above turns off the "avira annoyance popups".

I should have stuck with kaspersky. Kaspersky hasn't given me any issues with autoit ever. Luckily, my vista 64-bit system still uses Kaspersky.

And, finally, if you have a concern over off-topic conversations, simply ask the mods to move this thread to chat or "close the thread". It's that simple young man.
