Windows network profile reset at every AVG update

I am using AVG Ultimate 2016 . The current software version is 1.1.171.3.211 (latest update as of now).

My problem is that every time AVG software updates on my PCs , the Windows network profile keeps getting reset to public / home . As a result, all kinds of applications that I run on my LAN, such as file sharing and others, stop working.

The only way to fix it is to go to AVG / Internet security / Menu / Settings / Components / Firewall / Network profiles , and then switch from "Public" to "Private".

I'm really, really sick and tired of having to do this on all my computers. I have been using AVG for 5 years on all them and it was OK in the past - but not anymore.

5 of my 7 PCs are running Windows 10, and the other 2 are on Windows 7.
4 are desktops, and 3 are laptops. 3 use wired connections, and 4 use wireless.

My router is a Netgear R7000 .

Any assistance with this problem would be greatly appreciated.


I have 7 computers connected - 4 desktops and 3 laptops. This is extremely annoying to fix repeatedly on every one of them.
