(AFIK, Vista users are out of luck, as usual.) Just open command prompt in the directory where AntiVir is installed (usually you can type "cd Program FilesAviraAntiVir PersonalEdition Classic" [without the quotes] in Command Prompt). Now run the command "cacls avnotify.exe /D <username>" (without the quotes), replacing <username> with the name you use to login to Windows. If you are an administrator, repeat the command for any other users on your system. Voila! You just did something that both Avira and Microsoft don't want you to do!

Much appreciated. The popup notifications were starting to slowly drive me mad... Now if I can just find a way to destroy the most horrendous and insistent popup dialog of all: "Restart Windows now or later to install updates" ... LATER! And stay away!!!! ...Again, thanks very much for this fix on the Avira popups. Thanks Martin! Much appreciated. The popup notifications were starting to slowly drive me mad…

You don't need the icon in system tray to stay protected nor the update service .. you can do it manually. As a result of all this AntiVir has the smallest memory footprint. P.S Use MSConfig One more thing abt AntiVir : You can end all process except AVGuard in background.
