AVG Blocks almost every site including AVG website

Hello Rudy,

I am sorry to hear that you are unable to access some of the websites in your computer. Please follow the below steps in your computer and check if that fix the issue:

Please open the AVG Internet Security installed in your computer and click on Menu->Settings->Components->Firewall->Customize->Change the application settings from "Auto Decide to "Allow". Once this is done, click on "Network Profile(Left side of the interface) and change the profile to "Private" if selected in "Public".

After you change this settings from AVG, please check if you are able to access websites. If you face any difficulties, feel free to contact us.

Since installing AVG internet security and tuneup several things are happening on my Vista laptop.

Most sites including AVG website are blocked. I cannot get to my online  banking site.
I can get to Bing.com but there is no picture or the news squares visible. If I hit enter I can search.
I searched for AVG blocking everything and found entries at AVG but I am blocked from opening AVG as well.
