Avira Nag Screen Disable

This document provides instructions for disabling the update nag screen and splash screen that appear when using the free antivirus software Avira Antivir. It describes navigating to the Local Security Policy editor to create a new restriction disallowing the avnotify.exe program, which generates the update nag. It also explains editing the Windows registry to add "/nosplash" to the avgnt path, which prevents the splash screen from displaying on startup. These changes allow the user to use Avira Antivir without the annoyances of the nagging notifications and visual splash screen.

Open regedit and navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Window s\CurrentVersion\Run] 2.
