This only works temporarily. The next time Avira updates, it will change the permissions back and pop-ups resume.

Thanks very much for this hack. Since Avira has now come out with the Ask Toolbar and something called Webguard, it has even more popups and nag screens than ever before. This technique stopped it all for which I am supremely grateful. A previous comment tries to say that Avira AntiVir is a virus. Ah, no it isn't. I've used it for ten years. It's a good application. Yes, this hack will work on any Avira edition.
