On the bottom menu bar of my computer where my AVG icon is there is a white dot containing an exclamation mark, which when I point to it a message comes up stating "Error click for more information".

When I click on it the AVG window comes up with the following option sections:

Anti virus free, this is ticked.
PC Tune Up, this is unticked.
Secure VPN, this is unticked.
Web Tune-Up, this is unticked.

Also there is an option to add a device and Scan now.

Should I carry out all these, because it seems that the white dot on the AVG icon will not disappear until those offers are accepted perhaps.

It sounds like a type of sales pitch to me, AOG.

AVG would love you to believe that you really need AVG TuneUp (at £34.99 per year). You don't.

They'd also like you to route your internet traffic through their VPN (for £38.99 every 6 months). You almost certainly don't need to.

At least their Web TuneUp browser extension is free but, again, I don't think that you need it.

Ignore the warning messages or switch to Avast (which,it seems, is the most popular free antivirus software among ABers):
