Go to

Settings > Updates > Details and uncheck box that says

"Show notification box after automatic update"

Avast Settings page - Show notification box after automatic update

I just unchecked all of them. Let's wait a week for the results – Jader Dias – 2009-09-23T02:43:47.597

I have unchecked all of them in 2 computers. In one of the computers (the one I use) it has disappeared. In the other I saw the message recently. – Jader Dias – 2009-10-20T21:29:23.007

Outdated as of July 2013. – That Brazilian Guy – 2013-07-06T20:53:30.323

@ruda.almeida updated with new screen shot, hope that helps. – Nick Josevski – 2013-07-07T09:49:20.560

Why didn't you remove the old version? Anyway, your updated answer is wrong. @Ian's is right. – That Brazilian Guy – 2013-07-07T16:13:02.310

I've found in the new version (7.0.*) you can go to Settings -> Updates -> Details and uncheck the box that says "Show notification box after automatic update."

To kill sound: right click on avast icon -> Program Settings -> Sounds -> check the box "disable avast sounds".

Disable PopUp: Program Settings -> Update (Basic) -> now there's a button in the lower right corner called "Details", click on it -> uncheck "show sliding box after automatic update"
