Joe,
AVG will take some time during first scan and it will perform other scan quickly. Could you share the screenshot https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=How-to-create-a-screenshot&supportType=home of the popups you received to understand more about the situation?
For the past few years it would take AVG Free about an hour to run a full computer scan. However, since the last update, it only takes four minutes for it to say it's completed the scan. Somehow that doesn't seem reasonable. Also there's a pop up that says "an application is requesting access to protected files." Each time you click on it a new pop up in a different language appears - and, after clicking on it about 20 times, the thing goes away. Is this associated with the short scan time?
In the past every scan took at least an hour - seems unrealistic that the product could do a complete scan in 4 minutes.
See attached screen shot.
Thank you for the screenshot, Joe.
Are you receiving this popup constantly or only during a scan option?
Right Click on AVG icon under system tray next to clock, click on toggle bar to disable it temporarily and check if you still receive that popup.
