AVG warnings

Options
I have AVG cloud care installed on my laptop it’s been running now for about a year I paid to have this put on, have not had any problems other then I think it does slow things down a lot.
The past two days I keep getting warnings saying,
Revoked certificate and giving several web addresses such as:
W.visualdna.com and dbm.mediaiqdigital.com
The system does go on to say, SECURED all items were resolved.
These warnings can appear half a dozen times during an evening what’s going on, for what it’s worth I have run a full scan and it comes up all clear.
Any ideas please.
I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    You paid to have it installed, what does it give you in return for you opening your wallet ?

    AndyPix, thanks for your constructive comments, that’s more than I can say about DCFC79.
    Why do some people feel the need to be so rude.

    Remove AVG , it's now a resource hog

    Windows own built in one is free and very good

    And use malware bytes to scan now to be sure

    Is that true for win 8.1? Thought defender was not very good, currently using Avast free.

    Never been a fan of AVG, ironically i sell it, but I also sell Malwarebytes and personally use it. o I have to agree, switch to mbam or even bitdefender
