Hacker protection

Hello Lesleyann.
We'd be glad clarify this.
As per our records, you have an active subscription for AVG Internet Security. This product includes enhanced firewall protection.
Enhanced Firewall monitors all network traffic between your PC and the outside world to protect you from unauthorized communication and intrusions.

The pop up you are seeing about IP address not hidden is a campaign pop up for AVG Secure VPN. The difference between these products is, AVG Internet Security is designed to protect your device from security threats, such as viruses, trojans, and malware, but will not hide your device's IP address when connected to an unknown internet connection.

AVG Secure VPN is an application that enables you to connect to the internet via secure AVG VPN servers using an encrypted tunnel to protect your online activity from eavesdropping. AVG Secure VPN can be used any time you want to connect to the internet with extra security and privacy. This is especially recommended when you are connected to a public or unsecured wireless network.

For years I had AVG Free and more recently I have purchased the protection but why am I constantly told by AVG that my computer access can be viewed by others and my IP is not hidden from them - surely this basic level of protection is what I have paid for?
