AVG Password Protect

My Password Protect will not get passed the "loading" phase.
I reported this to AVG on 24th Aug (Case number 11467178).  The operative uninstalled and reinstalled Password Protect for me but the same problem occurred. I was told she had to raise this up a level and to expect an email  reply within 48 hours. 
After 7 days with no response I contacted them again and was told this would now be "prioritised".
I have now waited 3 more days and no reply. I am not impressed.
I am inclined to cancel PP and ask for a refund and compensation for my trouble.
Do I still need Password Protect or is it included in the paid for AVG?
