Blocking AntiVir 9.0 Ad popup
I previously introduced the way of blocking the ad pop up of Avira AntiVir Personal 8.0. However, this method can’t block the ad of version 9.0. Here is the solution:
I use Windows Vista Business to perform the following steps.
- Click Windows Icon (or Start) > Control Panel >Administrative Tools >Local Security Policy.
- After Local Security Policy MMC has opened, you can click Additional Rules under Software Restriction Policies.
- If you cannot find Additional Rules, you can right click Software Restriction Policies and click New Software Restriction Policies.
- Then, right click Additional Rules, and select New Path Rule. Then, you will see a new dialog box. Then, click Browse… to select C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\avnotify.exe.
- Make sure the security level is set to Disallowed. Finally, you can click OK button.
I hope this screenshot would be helpful.
