Thank you for sharing us the screenshots, Carlos.
Upon checking them, we see that there was an attempt to access a malicious link & AVG has blocked the connection. 
Regarding the other notification, it is a scam & it is from Chrome browser. 
It seems that you've allowed few sites in Chrome to provide notification on desktop . Hence, you're receiving these notifications.
To manage notifications from Chrome, you can try the steps in this article.
You can be rest assured that your system will be protected against emerging threats & hackers.
For further queries, feel free to write back to us.

Today I visited a website for some vector and graphics inspiration, as soon as we click on the vector we need it, a screen opened up from AVG and alerted me with the website not being safe, we proceed then to hit the "leave this site" button (nothing loaded anyway, apparently…), After a few minutes we started to get ramson malware attacks in the form of pop-ups from MacAfee etc saying "your computer might be susceptible to viruses and malware". I can see under  the history of the AVG app that the threat was blocked 3 times today "we safely aborted connection on t.r-tb.com , sorryfearknockout.com because it was infected URL blacklist, Malvertising."

However the pop-ups continue, I have run a deep scan and still, nothing found. How can Avg detect and alert before it happens apparently when the thing is already downloaded somewhere in our system?
