AVG Antivirus for Mac - crashes every time on Mac OS Sierra

Thank you.

Is there a fix for this problem? Every time I try to run the AVG Scan Computer now that I have upgraded to the latest software from Apple Mac, Sierra, the AVG antivirus scan program crashes every time, repeatedly. I have looked at the logs but there doesn't seem to be too much that identifies what exactly the problem is. Added to this, the background scanning does not seem to be working - literally, the lights are on but there is nobody at home! (The colour green shows, but no business happening!).
I was very happy with AVG previously, and though I realize it is not the fault of AVG, I am very keen to continue with AVG products, and desperate to get a fix. SO,......please, anybody know anything that might help here?

Allisia, Also alternatively for Mac OS support… Please click on the following link (http://avgclick.me/AVGtechnical) and choose Yes for the Question "Are you currently using any paid/trial AVG products?" inspite of using the Free version and fill out your details, select as Mac OS then the name of AVG Program that you installed in your device and in description please completely explain about your issue and finally click on the 'Start Chat' option. You will start a live, online chat with one of the AVG agents.
