Windows 7, Outlook 2010 and AVG ver.22.8.3250-build22.8.7500.439
AVG blocks all email, incoming and out. I can disable "email shield" and it works but kind of defeats the purpose of having protection.
If I uncheck "Scan SSL Connections" in geek area it allows email.
I see others with the same problem and mention of a fix in the next update. So where is it?
It's the 6th now and I've had this problem since the last update (dated Aug. 19,2022). I really hate paying for something that doesn't work.
