nope, the default is the last one (blocks by default, no asking) => it's the best option because it requires the least user's input

As you see, if Behavioural Shield is set to "Automatically remove known threats" it will automatically remove known threats and Ask for the others. This is not a lower security level, as some think

according to AVG's user guide, these 3 options have identical level of protection
The third one requires the least user's inputs (it automatcally blocks all known threats but will prompt if it is not sure) while "always ask" requires user's inputs all the time
