I noticed the instructions on how to disable the advertisement/popup from Avira AntiVir's update were not easy to find in this forum. The links already existed in other threads (see Meetloaf13's Post):
But for everyone's convenience, here it is the link more readily accessible: http://www.elitekiller.com/files/disable_antivir_nag.htm

That's what did. I also disabled the start up splash screen, schedule several updates a day and a weekly scan. Couldn't be happier.

Same. I like it better than any other free scanner since it's low on resources and detects more in-the-wild and known viruses than most other scanners.

Edit: Oh wait, it looks like it doesn't apply to Avira Free. Don't know if it works then and I don't care to test it either because I already have Avira set up. -

Avira won't let you post on the forum about getting rid of the ad that pops up during updates but the elitekiller links directions work. The way I look at it, it's like disabling any service in Windows etc. you don't need or want.
As far as the start up screen registry hack that Avira gives directions for, I noticed on my system, I needed to delete "min" at the end of the parameter before typing "nosplash" (without quotes) -
