It´s free for non commercial use and updates its virus definitions regulary just like the professional version. The free version however has the habit to display a advertisment popup after each update, which normally means that you see this ad every single day. It is always the same ad and I don´t see a reason for this at all, once is fine but everyday ?</p><p>I show you how to disable this advertisment without tampering with the rest of AntiVir. This workaround is only working in windows xp (pro). Run &#8220;secpol.msc&#8221; which opens the local security settings. Select software restrictions policy on the left and there additional rules. Right click in the window on the right and chose new path rule. Click on browse and navigate to avnotify.exe. (normally in program files/ AntiVir Personaledition Classic/).</p><p><span
id="more-634"></span>Select disallowed as the security level and hit ok to close the dialog. What we´ve done know is that we forbid the execution of avnotifiy.exe which shows the Ads. This works as long as the producer is not updating avnotify.exe itself and changing its name in the process. If that is the case repeat the steps to disallow the new named exe as well.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2006/07/16/how-to-disable-the-ad-popup-in-antivir/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>23</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
