AVG antivirus not working with Big Sur

Hi Amir,

We will help you in this.
AVG has recently updated the Internet Security to be compatible with the Mac OS Big Sur version.
Kindly check if the AVG installed in your PC is up to date dated?

AVG >> Menu >> About

If the application is on the latest version and if you are still getting the pop up, kindly share us the screenshot of it.

I just upgraded to Big Sur for my Mac and am now having an issue where the AVG notification pops up every 3minutes. Its crazy. It says that it cannot protect me fully because I have to allow system extensions. I assume its talking about legacy extension? If so, Big Sur does not support legacy extension anymore from what I've read.

That is wonderful news, Am R.
Thank you for returning to community and let us know.
It could be possible that macOS upgrade has caused this issue.
If you need anything else, do not hesitate to let us know.

Also problems here with running the latest AVG. The warning pops all the time because I have not allowed DNS Proxy settings according the AVG.

The sad fact is, that I can't allow it because the popup that should contain the "allow"-button is missing. After clicking "Open confirmation dialog" nothing just happens.

I do have the lastest 19.7 version installed and I am using Big Sur. When I click open comnfirmation dialog, nothing happens. What is the solution?

Yeah that's also the issue I'm having. I click open confirmation dialog and nothing happens. I followed the instructions on the website and go to system preferences and security and privacy but nothing shows there for me to "Allow". I can't even disable avg temporarily or disable notifications. Its horrible the way it was designed if there is any problem!

I just reinstalled. It fixed the issue. No idea why it wasn't working before

Am R, you should not have any issues if you are using the latest version of AVG AntiVirus on Mac.
Could you confirm that you have the latest version installed?

Am R, thank you for confirming the program version.
Do you receive any error message when you try to turn on the components?
Please make sure the app is activated using the paid activation code.
If it is already activated and there is no error message, we'd request you to reinstall the software once to resolve the issue.
