Hello Phuong, 

Thank you for reaching AVG support channel. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. We understand that you are unable to turn off passive mode and its asking for password. We are glad to help you. 

Its look like you have set password to access AVG settings and program. That is the reason why you are getting prompt to enter the password while accessing AVG settings. It will not accept the MyAccount password as its different. 

If you do not know the settings password, we suggest you to reinstall AVG Internet Security program using AVG clear tool. This will helps you to remove the settings password from AVG program.  Refer the below article to know how to resolve this issue : 

Using the AVG Uninstall Tool

If you still need any further help, feel free to contacting us at anytime. Have a great day!

I have AVG VPN which now blocks access to three games that I visit daily.  It constantly tells me I am not connected to the Internet when I am.  I have to disable the VPN to access the games - not good if I have to make a payment..

 

Today, another issue - AVG scan of my network tells me I am not connected to the Internet when I obviously am.

 

Advice please.

Installed my complete AVG package on a 2024 ASUS laptop. None of my AVG Shields will turn on.  Have "repaired"/"Modified" the settings of the App and Restarted. They Still Will Not Turn On.

A Security system that does not AUTOMATICALLY actually have shields is fraudulent. Not Fit For Purpose. What magic trick do I need to follow to get this package to perform its most basic function?????

There should be a patch to correct this

Hello Enda,
Thank you for reaching out to AVG Community Support.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the AVG Core Shields not being enabled. We will investigate this matter and assist you accordingly. Could you please provide additional details about the issue so that we can address it effectively? Also, may I know the name and version of your device's operating system?
If you have already attempted to repair AVG Antivirus (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=repair-avg-antivirus&q=repair+avg&supportType=home), have you considered reinstalling the AVG Internet Security application as a potential solution? Additionally, it would be helpful to know if any other antivirus programs were previously installed on your PC.
We look forward to your response and the opportunity to provide further assistance.
