Hello Robert.
We'd be glad to clarify this.
Due to new Apple requirements, our antivirus needs to have separate network profiles installed. The network profiles should be there listed twice. One with the state running is related to the DNS proxy - Fake website shield, the other one with state connected is Web and Email shields.
Unfortunately, there is an issue when the profiles may multiply ( e.g. when the components or the machine restarts ). These AVG network profiles may be inactive.
This seems to be an issue of Apple, and we have reported it to them and opened a ticket for the issue.
We're glad to inform that this unwanted behavior is not affecting application functionality, so we would request you to ignore it.

I’ve used AVG for years, but since upgrading my Mac to Big Sur, the network security tab shows dozens of “AVG Security” as if it was a network like my wifi or ethernet connections.
Why is it there at all? How do I stop it? I’ve tried deleting them all but they reappear instantly.
I’ve logged in and out of the AVG network connection as well.
I don’t know why it show a VPN connection, I don’t use one.
