Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns. To disable your AVG program temporarily, you can right-click the AVG icon in the system tray next to the clock, it will gives you the option to disable/ enable your AVG program.
Or to disable your AVG program with each components, please open your AVG Internet Security and click on Menu options, choose "components" tab and there you have the options to enable/ disable AVG components.
By default, scanning for PUP is disabled. Because, it will detect the unwanted extensions but most of our customers complained that they would like to install some extensions where AVG blocks them. So, we left that option to be selected by your self.
If you would like to share your feedback http://avgclick.me/AVGfeedback or ideas with AVG, we would appreciate it. Please, feel free to let us know if you require any further assistance. Thank you.

Also, I don't understand the explanation for why PUA scanning is disabled by default--unless the "scanning" includes blocking. If an application is scanned and not blocked, your explanation does not hold.
Finally, I don't understand your explanation of the AVG signature. Could you kindly provide a sample of such a signature, and tell me where it will appear.
You can disable each components of latest version of AVG separately.
Please click components at the top of the AVG window. It will open list of components. You will have disable or uninstall option available for each components.
PUP scanning option is disabled by default in AVG settings. Potentially unwanted programs are usually installed legitimately as a part of another program. There are some situations where a user may feel that the benefits of a potentially unwanted application outweigh the risks.You can enable or disable this option when you required it.
If you have enabled email signature for incoming and outgoing emails, you will get a signature in your email which shows your email is not infected.
Please get back to us if you have any further queries.
Thank you.
It seems that you have installed 2017 version of AVG in your computer.
You will have an option to disable AVG components if you click on " Components".
Unfortunately you will not have the disable AVG option in the new version.
Thank you.
