          You cant have two anti-viruses installed for this reason.  You should have know that.   ::)  It cant scan cause there password protected, its ment to keep whats in those private an what not.

              Superantispyware and Malwarebytes' anti-malware can be installed without a problem on a computer with AVG. You should know that.

                   remove the password protection and allow them to be scanned would be my first
                  suggestion....and/or go through all the other suggestions...

                    Archive = Zipped file. (.zip, .rar, .7z, ect...)

                    Password Archive = Password protected zipped file.

                    Remove password = success.
