Kaspersky ads unwelcome. no vpn

I keep getting ads form Kaspersky to upgrade (yes I paid for a 5 item license) and alerts saying that I have used my limit on VPN (even though it isn't even activated) and I have only had Kaspersky less than 3 weeks, I am looking at replacing with another antivirus  (even though I hate Norton bloatware) already unless I can find a way to get out of the alerts and reminders and sales adds. Anyone know how to stop the BS. All I ant is an anti-virus that sits there and protects me. I don't want to hear anything from the software. Does anyone know a cure besides my deleting a full year of Kaspersky and going to another antivirus.
