AVG Internet Security - "Protection is Disabled - Protection will be automatically enabled"

For me, there was a simple resolution.

The conflicting protection messages indicated an unapplied Microsoft Update. -- In other words, a true conflict between the PC's and AVG's scan.

After applying the Update, the problem went away.

After rebooting my computer, AVG frequently has an "Internet Security - Attention" message in the System Tray.

When I open up AVG Internet Security, it says "Protection is Disabled - Protection will be automatically enabled after PC restart". That is incorrect, I tried it a couple of times and the same message occurred after.

There are two icons that say "Not Protected": Computer and Hacker Attacks. Under Computer, Behavior Shield is off, under Hacker Attacks, Ransomware Protection is off. Turning them both on results in a "You are fully protected" message in AVG Internet Security, no reboot required.

How can this be fixed? When I installed Windows 10 back in December (new HDD so fresh install, not an upgrade), this did not happen…

Thanks,

John

Thanks Santhosh. In response to your questions:

I didn't know you could run AVG Internet Security beyond the trial without paying for it. So I don't know how to tell if it is activated.
