antivir popup
- Thread starter adbp1
- Start date
Run “secpol.msc” 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/).
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.

all sorted now, no annoying popup, but still getting games skip/jirking when update starts.
