About AVG resident shield not active-warning

If your AVG antivirus starts showing “AVG Resident Shield not active”, it means your antivirus’ real-time protection is disabled or basically, your antivirus program is disabled. This is what protects your computer from virus infection and other threats. One possible reason why the resident shield is disabled is an expired subscription. If you are using the trial version of AVG Internet Security, your trial period has probably expired.

When a trial period expires or your subscription has ended, your antivirus software will automatically get disabled. To re-enable it, either renew your subscription or buy a subscription for the antivirus. If you can’t renew your subscription, another solution is to uninstall the existing disabled antivirus and install the free version. Download AVG Free Antivirus instead and install it.
