Hello Kevin,
Thank you for writing back to us. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. We have escalated your request to next level of team. They will check and get back to you as soon as possible. We really appreciate your patience.
Hello Kevin,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
We are glad to know that you have taken the valuable time to share the screenshot and appreciate your efforts and cooperation.
Genuinely this screenshot was helped us to identify the issue. We'll certainly check and help you out.
Upon checking the screenshot you have provided, I would like to inform you that there is a known issue with the vulnerability of this driver that is being detected by our AVG, as it is valid detection. We don't recommend using the application which uses that driver until its developers provide a fix.
There isn't any other workaround than disabling the "Block vulnerable kernel drivers" feature if you want to use the application despite our recommendations, please do the following. Open AVG Internet Security -> Menu -> Settings -> General -> Troubleshooting -> Enable Self-Defense -> Block vulnerable kernel drivers(select the checkbox). However, it leaves the device unprotected and vulnerable.
We hope you find it helpful. Thank you for your understanding.
Oh! That sucks. I wasn't looking to disable it, just hide the constant notfication. Thank you for your time though.
I'm up to date.
