Hello Peter,
Yes, after recent AVG update, the customer will receive notification as "AVG is in passive mode" when there is another security program installed on your PC.
The update was released to inform customers about the necessity of having a single antivirus program on their computer. It is not recommended to have two security program running on the same PC which might cause various issues for PC at any time.
We do not want our customers to lose any valuable data because of these conflicts with the antivirus program. The conflicting between antivirus program is the same from the beginning but it is our duty to inform customers about the seriousness of the issues that would occur, hence we decided to highlight customers through this update.
Do any other users use other systems such as Malwarebytes as well as AVG?
