Hi Gerardo,
We're glad to clarify this for you.
AVG protection program classifies networks into 2 types as mentioned below :
Public (airport, hotel, cafe, etc) - Maximum protection as it has more restrictions.
Private (home) - Minimum protection as it has less restrictions.
Even if you're connected to your home network (private as per windows), AVG will show it as public network, in order to provide maximum protection.
However, you'll be able to change the network profiles according to your preference as mentioned in this article.
For further queries, feel free to write back to us.

The different programs of the AVG Ultimate use terms that are completely baffling to me as a user of these so-called "protection" programs. For instance, the network which connects me (with all my "with-in the home" interconnected equipment, such as PC, printer, modem, NAS, scanner, etc.) with my internet service provider – identified with a network-name assigned by my internet service provider upon subscribing with the provider – is classified by AVG as a public network.
Consequently, if I want to print a file from my PC to my computer (these two devices communicate through this "public network" which is my subscribed network), AVG will have to check first whether it is safe, before I could have my printed file.
Is there any tutorial or manual to explain all these terms and usages AVG takes for granted to overwhelmed users?
