AVG and Microsoft Word

Recently all documents in Microsoft Word on my laptop have gone into Read Only mode without my being able to do anything about it. Is my AVG security responsible for this, and vas anyone else had similar experiences? If so, any advice?

Hello John,

I am sorry to hear that. Please follow the below steps and check if that fix the issue.

Open AVG Internet Security.
Go to Menu ▸ Ransomware Protection.
Click the Protected Folders tab.
Click Change protected file types. All listed file types are selected by default. Tick the box next to a file type to deselect it.
