How can we feel safe online when it seems so easy to be scammed

Hello Carna. 
We are sorry to hear that you are worried about your online security. AVG Internet Security includes advanced protection for your online activity. 

Web sheild in AVG Internet Security actively scans data that is transferred when you browse the internet to prevent malware from being downloaded and run on your PC. 
Fake Website Shield secures you against DNS (Domain Name System) hijacking, which is when a malicious program redirects you from an authentic URL to an inauthentic website to acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details.
Enhanced Firewall monitors all network traffic between your PC and the outside world to protect you from unauthorized communication and intrusions. Enhanced Firewall prevents sensitive data from leaving your PC and blocks attempted intrusions by hackers.

Could you provide more details about the compromise you mentioned with AVG?

I am feeling most vulnerable since getting scammed by g mail. Causing probs for my Amazon account. then when using a paid for Revo account to update this was downgraded. I am feeling unsafe online and not sure who we the public can trust with security anymore. Even with my AVG account this too was compromised recently Fixed and repaid by ANV but I am now wondering if I am using a genuine AVG account or if this is a mirror for some scammer. How do I fix this mess. Thanks for any help by my own email. I find it difficult to find emails to contact on my suppliers I am contacting all the providers and will be seeking questions from Microsoft as well since the updating to win 10 and the new version of Microsoft Edge. We need to feel safe or must we just shut off the internets??
