Disable anti-virus popups without disabling the tray icon in "Silent Mode"

I get frequent popups from the anti-virus with messages like "An update process has been completed successfully" or "A program has been allowed to connect to the Internet". This gets annoying very quickly and when I called support I was told to turn on Silent Mode which removes the Windows system tray icon. I don't like that solution because users may want to access the tray icon to say review a file that was quarantined or perform some other related task. I was told to post here for a feature request to allow only the disabling of the popup messages.

    Has anyone had any updates on this? The pop ups are constantly in the way, and I can't find a way to turn them off without going into 'silent mode'. Should at least be an option to disable notifications locally if not at the admin level for certain messages like the connection which is constantly popping up.
