location has been changed to a strange locale

I have had a location listed as Atlanta the whole time. all of a sudden it shows "Czech Republic" p2p and then another one is listed- netherlands,amsterdam p2p
WHY did it change - sounds like a hack??? yet AVG says I am fine- no viruese etc.  so, I want to change it back to Atlanta BUT am I in danger??? why* did it switch to a mid- europen country- ( for access???) worried. please let me now- asap!

Hi Mary,

We're glad to clarify this for you.
Initially, you can be rest assured that your computer would be protected against emerging threats & hackers with AVG Internet Security installed on it.
Sometimes, this might happen if the server to which you're connected through Secure VPN is unavailable or under maintenance. 
Since, AVG headquarters is based in Czech, it would have been connected to Czech. 
However, if you're still concerned, let us know. We'll help you with the steps to reinstall AVG Secure VPN once to check.
Thank you for your understanding in advance!
