Popup Nag Messages?

Post by infinitempg »

I have both Paintshop Pro 2018 and VideoStudio 2018 installed on my home computer and I have message preferences for both set to never display messages. Yet even with that set like that I still get popup messages in the lower right of my screen at random times and often when I exit my screen saver.

How can I permanently turn OFF these nag screen pushing me to upgrade? And puh-lease do not tell me upgrading is the way to stop them :roll:

What all Corel software do you have installed? I haven't installed PhotoMirage in a while but it used to run messages in the system tray as well.

There is a sticky topic on removing ads - https://forum.corel.com/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=65942

It includes several methods including removing the update utility, or setting up rules in the firewall to prevent messages, or marking the Messages folder as read-only so it can't download new messages to show.
