Hello!

That's unexpected: it must be a bug in version 2.16.3 because servers have not been sending Halloween banner since weeks ago (now they send Black Friday promo banner). You can either upgrade to latest Eddie 2.19 (but you might have issues with Windows 7) or you can just delete all the files in C:\Users\parent\AppData\Local\AirVPN\ while Eddie is not running. At the next run you will need to re-enter your credentials and any custom setting.

Kind regards

Is there a way yo turn off any and all advertising popups from this service? 
I want the VPN service and I want to keep all of my custom settings. It seems quite inconvenient for us as customers to have to delete and reconfigure because of a advertising BUG.

Then upgrade to at least Eddie 2.18.9. There's a chance all your troubles will be over with :D
