How do I disable the News notifications in Kaspersky Free?

[DaveyJames]

A green envelope appears in my Windows 7 system tray and it won't go away until I've clicked on it and read the news. The news items are things unrelated to my Kaspersky Free installation so I have no interest in it.

The support article below tells me how to disable the news but it's referring to menus which don't exist in Kaspersky Free. I installed Kaspersky Free today so I have the most recent version:

The support page says this, however there is NO "News Notification" section:

In the News notifications section, perform one of the following:

• If you want to receive security news, set the Receive informational messages and advertisements from Kaspersky toggle to On.
• If you do not want to receive security news, set the Receive informational messages and advertisements from Kaspersky toggle to Off.

Dont think you can get rid of it on the free version, tried to for a few days and Kaspersky seem to have the only links with assistance to this issue, however, every link is either outdated or irrelevant to the issue.

 

Just uninstall they have no solution.

 

download anything else or just use Windows and download this when you want to scan something.

I'm personally staying away from programs that don't have basic notification options.

It now started to show the main window on every login as well instead of just launching to tray...

They really try their hardest to make us uninstall
