Realtime Protection has crashed since updating to macOS Sierra

Since updating to macOS Sierra, Realtime Protection on my Macbook Pro is not working. It states: 'Realtime Protection has crashed. Unknown error has occurred.'. Is there any fix or anything I could do to solve this?

I have the same problem with Realtime protection, also i cannot login to AVG Zen, and AVG Cleaner crash when starting.
Update from AVG will be neccesary for these issues.

We suggest you to wait for the next update from AVG and that will solve all the current issues you face with the AVG programs. Thank you for your understanding.

Same problem, no real time protection on my paid version of AVG.
I must say, it is kind disappointing that this issue has been raised several times ever since the beta release (if I browse around on your fora), and that is still hasn't been resolved in any way. 

Kind regards and good luck producing the next update!

Peter, Unfortunately AVG Technologies cannot guarantee functionality of their products on Beta versions of an operating system. They will fully support MacOS Sierra once the final version was released.

@Alan Binch,

Maybe I was unclear.

The point was not that a beta version of an OS has a guaranteed functionallity. The point was that a final version does not have full functionallity at the moment of its release a few days back. Especially since the bug was already reported in the beta version of that OS.

But we're always happy with updates! :D
