Password Protection in Internet Security suite is turning itself off - how to fix this

Password Protection in the AVG Internet Security suite is turning itself off. I switch it back on manually and check that it is ON in settings, but when computer sleeps or I shutdown or restart, Password Protection is again set to off. Does anyone know how this issue can be fixed, please? Thank you.
