How to get rid of Lastpass and bitdefender ads?

Title says it all.  Even the "dont ask again" box on the new BT AV ad only applies per computer, so I still have to click it 3-4 times per day.  This doesn't seem like any way to treat a customer, forcing them to continually deal with ads for your other service.  I can tell you one thing, Logmein, Inc - because you force me to deal with these ads, I will CERTAINLY not be using LastPass or Bitdefender AV.  Was that your goal?  To make me hate those services?  If so, job well done.

Re: I pay a lot for Gotomypc, why must I deal with Lastpass and bitdefender ads?

@cameronjpu  I apologize for the annoyance, and believe we should be able to disable that messaging soon.  ETA currently is about 3 weeks for this switch to finalize. 

 

Thanks for your patience.

Man I hope so - I complained bitterly about the LastPass junk for weeks before giving up when it became clear that no one cared if I was happy or unhappy.  I'll believe it when I see it happen.

During some testing we were only able to make the request repopulate if using a private browsing experience.  So in your case you may have a security plugin / browser app that is mimicking this behavior?

Ha!  No.  I am using normal browsers on dozens of computers as I move around the DC area throughout my work day, FIXING COMPUTERS.  I am an IT professional.  

 

Your ANNOYING come-on for a product I DONT WANT comes up every time I log in on a new computer where I haven't before told it I DONT WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN.

 

God you guys are terrible.  I am working hard to find a product I can use to replace gotomypc functionality.  I hope your effort to get me to use your stupid AV and password managers are worth losing someone paying $400+ per year.

Re: How to get rid of Lastpass and bitdefender ads?

Add me to the list of upset IT admins. I don't see these popups myself, but my end users do and each inquiry is a ticket. "Your host computer is safe" I have to say to each one asking me so they could be reassured. "Are you sure?" some ask. "Yes, it's just an ad from LogMeIn" I try again to reassure. The one boss-woman retorted, "But don't we pay for GoToMyPC?"  Anyone at LogMeIn reading any of this?

We are working on a way for Admins to disable these ads completely.  Hopefully just a few days away.  I'll update everybody as soon as I hear more.

 

Thanks for your patience.

Yeah these guys are worthless. They have a service they sell for more than $1 per day per computer but they sacrifice it for an ad worth pennies per year. What a bunch of idiots.

Doesn’t seem like it’s solved yet.

Hello everyone, and thanks for waiting.

I should have a solid ETA in a few days, and expect the admin tool release shortly afterwards.
