My W10 PC has AVG AntiVirus Free installed on it. 

When I start the AVG client ["C:\Program Files\AVG\Antivirus\AVGUI.exe"] the client starts but a popup also appear that is telling me following: 

–
              AUTHORIZATION 
An attempt has been made to enter a protected are of AVG. This may be legitimate action, but could be also the result of malware attack. 
(Select Cancel unless you are performing the action intentionally)
Do you want to continue?

At this point I am required to enter a password and click the OK button of click the CANCEL button

For a few years I have used AVG and when starting the gui client have never seen a password requirement like this. I am the W10 authorized admin.

I am wondering how to get around this form password issue. Thanks
