Avira antivirus popups

To disable the Avira once a day popups:

XP Home link
Execute this from the avnotify.exe directory.
cacls avnotify.exe /D

XP Pro link
1. Start - Run - Type “secpol.msc”
2. Click on Software Restriction Policy - go to Action (at the top) - Create New Restriction Policies
3. Right-click on Additional Rules (on the right) - Choose New Path Rule
4. Now click Browse and find the “avnotify.exe” file (C:\Program File\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\)
5. Make sure the security level is set to “Disallowed” and click OK.

Done. What you have done is disallowed the execution of “avnotify.exe”, which should suppress the popup window.
