AVG 17.5.3021 Internet Security Blocks Internet

Hello David,
I regret for the inconvenience caused. Please follow below steps and check if it works:
Open AVG->Internet Security->Menu->Settings->Components->Firewall->Customize->Network Profiles->change the network profiles from Public to Private and click OK to save changes.
Then Open AVG  -> Internet Security -> Click on Menu in the top right corner -> Settings -> Components -> Firewall -> Customize ->Profiles->System Rules->Enable the 'Allow windows file and printer sharing', enable the 'Allow remote desktop connections to this computer' and also enable the 'Allow stealth mode for public networks'. Then click OK to save changes.
Thank you.

AVG Internet security keeps blocking the internet completely. I'm running on Windows 10. Often restarting solves the problem for a short time but then it reappears. Looking on the forums this seems to be a common problem but I've yet to see a reliable solution. I've tried repairing the application (which you can only do if the internet connection is temporarily okay). Interestingly my remote connection to work (using CISCO AnyConnect) is unaffected and continues to work even if everything else is blocked. Maybe this is a clue to the cause of the problem?

Thanks. That seems to have done the trick (it's been fine for 2 days since I made those changes). Maybe those should be the default settings to reduce the number of people having the same problem?
Thank You.

Yes David. We will implement it in upcoming updates.
