Third party firewall and Opera upgrade popup

Permanently deleted user

I've used Avira for years, but I do have a couple of minor issues I would like to address.

For years I've used a third party stand-alone firewall, which means I have turned off Windows firewall.

Avira doesn't see my firewall, and reports a security issue, Is there a way to tell Avira that I am using a non-Microsoft firewall?

Next issue: Lately Avira is posting a notification for me to upgrade to it's security suite, including Opera browser.

I use Firefox Developer and don't want to use Opera, nor do I want to install additional software.

Is there a way to stop this notification from continually popping up?

Thanks

  Hi Morongo,
  
  our software can only detect the Microsoft Windows firewall. I'm afraid, currently there is no way to integrate other firewalls into our interface, so that no issue report will appear. 
  
  Regarding the update message: You can deinstall Opera after the update, but right now it is not possible to exclude it from the installation itsself. 
  
  I think the pop up can't be turned off. It will most likely stay until the new version is installed.
  
  Best regards
  Hendrik
