Hello everyone

For several days now, an Avast VPN ad keeps appearing on screen and I can't close it; I have to restart the PC, but after a few minutes it comes back

Has anyone had this problem and how to resolve it

Windows 11 & Firefox

Thank you all

    Hello,

    If the situation only occurs when Firefox is launched (but it can very well be automatically at computer startup), there is either a notification that needs to be removed in Firefox settings, or an unwanted script that manifests when connecting to certain sites: go through NoScript.

    If it is independent and in the absence of malware proper, there may be unwanted software, often installed at the same time as another if one is not careful; check the control panel to see if a dubious software should be uninstalled, use Autoruns to disable stray startup entries.
