General Software Discussion / Re: Hey Grisoft: I love AVG but I hate popups!

I agree.
I have paid AVG on one machine and the free version on a less used laptop. AVG opens a browser window to http://www.grisoft.com/doc/special-avg-free-conversion-pup-05-app-freecnv/ when I click update. While I'm a big fan of AVG, this practise is not something I'd expect from them.
Show me a banner within the AVG update dialogue by all means but don't open my browser and take me to a website. That's what I'd expect malware and hijacks to do!
