I did use it with no probs, cannot remember much as I am disabled but avg might be be blocking the internet somehow, u will have to open up avg and check settings etc.
I had a prob pretty similar that was blocking my IM etc, it turned out to be my Zone alarm firewall, i must have denied acces somehow, once I alloed ccess it all worked.

Dont panic, its something silly which with someones help on here u will fix it, if my m8 comes on he will help but he is not too good. Good luck

Answer 5

Avg security has includes a firewall you'll probably find the firewall was blocking your internet access it just needs to be told to let you internet browser through
Just for the record no one should access the internet without using a firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware (unless you want to be hacked)

Answer 6

Its the firewall of AVG, you need to setup the firewall manually after installation..... install the software and setup the firewall... I dont use AVG myself but this is the usual cause of such problems... Add your network's IP address range into the safe list of the AVG setup.... Read the manual if you are not sure how to do it...

Click on the start button and then on run

u will get a system utility window,
click on the selective start up and remove the check mark from the load start item , on the top click on the service and in the bottom click on the hide all microsoft service and after that u have to click on the disable all,
restart your computer, after u have restarted the computer u will have the system configuration utility window, click on the dont show this message again and then on the next, restart the computer,

Allow selected applications to access internet in firewall application.

If it does not work then try using fix gateway address in your network connection. Let IP address taken automatic. Hope it will work.

avg has a fantastic free service why did you buy it??

sounds like you didnt configure the firewall settings properly -
I bet it stopped you getting any viruses though didnt it??

there is a chance u did not configure it after installing or when u install it,u need not restart your pc for full configuration,so i guess u need to do it again,install and configure then restart
