Block AntiVir Ad

Avira AntiVir Personal is a free anti-virus software, but it always displays Ad banner when the virus definition is updating. I’m currently using Windows Vista Business and it works. However, I don’t know whether Windows Vista Home (Basic/Premium) or Windows XP Home Edition can do it by the following method.

  1. Click Windows Icon (or Start) > Control Panel >Administrative Tools >Local Security Policy.
  2. After Local Security Policy MMC has opened, you can click Additional Rules under Software Restriction Policies.
  3. If you cannot find Additional Rules, you can right click Software Restriction Policies and click New Software Restriction Policies.
  4. 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 PersonalEdition Classic\avnotify.exe.
  5. Make sure the security level is set to Disallowed. Finally, you can click OK button.
