I had the same trouble, I installed a few games from GOG and I got a warning but I just ignored AVG.

You should not remove AVG because it is way more important than the games. You should add the games to the "Exception" list in AVG so they are ignored but before you do that you should right click on the game and select "scan with avg shell" to make sure the game is virus free.

Firewall? Dracula Resurrection doesn't need a connection to the internet to install. That's strange.

AVG seems to call it "Resident Shield Detection" http://www.avg.com/us-en/faq.num-5187It's not a "firewall." A "firewall" keeps information from entering or exiting your computer from the Internet. The "Resident Shield" watches over what's going on on your computer -- and blocks it if it think's the activity is "unusual."

It is a free antivirus program you would install on your computer - after you uninstall AVG, of course.

You will have to pay for the Pro version... if you wanted the free one, that's different.

Dear heavens... you can't go with an antivirus program. If this is your Windows 8 computer, please just reactivate your Windows Defender anti-virus so you at least have something. You will get infected if you don't. Didn't you just get your computer back after having it cleaned? Just do a search for Defender and get it going again. That's the free one that comes on Windows 8.

Avast does not come with any of those things. The only thing it offers at the time of installation is Dropbox. You did not download it from the manufacturer's website. Now you will have to find all that other stuff and uninstall it too.
