The choice for Community is: Open Avast User Interface, click on Settings, 
Click on General, look at "Participate in  the Avast Community".
I leave it unchecked. I never had it checked so I really don't know what it 
does or doesn't do.  :)
But, rt clk on the Avast icon in the taskbar and checking Silent gaming 
mode, does wonders with pop-ups!!!!!
