From AVG: for your and others information, this campaign was started around 07/15/2009, and should last a month, the pop up should be showed in AVG Free EN language only, probably 4 times per week only.
As was already said in another thread, this campaign is pointed to users, who are satisfied with AVG and would like to pay for it (get better AVG Technical support, more AVG components to protect the computer, better scheduler of tests and updates, ...) and as you are using AVG for free, it can show you some "advertisement to buy AVG"... especially when this campaign is running only one month per year...
Thanks

That was July, this is November and I'm still getting them. So annoying.

Ads?  When?  Where?  Is this something that pops up when you first boot up the PC?

I don't have AVG on this computer but I do have it on my backup and I don't recall ever seeing any ads pop up on there.  I have version 9.  When I manually open the interface there is an ad at the bottom of the box.  It's called a notification and you can click to hide it.

it pops up at anytime. It really bugs me, vista used to do that all the time and made my stomach turn. I think AVG is abusing it's privileges. I wouldn't doubt they were responsible for some of the nasty stuff we face online. They play dirty we know now. I have about had it with them.
