This same problem started on 3 computers I have a few weeks ago for me also, all running VISTA,
The solution I found is,
Open AVG Free Antivirus > menu > settings > components > Online Shield > uncheck ' Enable HTTPS scanning'.
I installed AVAST on one of my VISTA comps and it had the same problem, unchecking ' Enable HTTPS scanning' also fixed the problem in AVAST,
AVAST has found a solution for this problem as all is good now with HTTPS scanning box ticked again.
Im not sure if AVAST is aware that there other product 'AVG 'has this same problem with comps running VISTA.???
Hello Steve,
I'm sorry to hear about this. Please disable AVG Online Shield (Open AVG Free Antivirus > menu > settings > components) and check if you can access your bank website. If yes, then please uninstall Online Shield alone, reinstall it and check if you can access your website.
Best regards,
Alok.
Recently AVG free (on windows Vista) will not allow me to open Medicare.gov web site. (and others)
If I turn off AVG free, everything works fine.
The problem does NOT effect Windows 10
The problem started a few weeks ago when I noticed the following web site will not load.
https://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/search.html?
AVG (Vista) free also blocks me from:
1. My banking web site login page.
2. Many AVG support sites

Yes I know this isn't a permanent solution, This is a known problem with computers running Vista with a recent Avast and AVG update as of about 4 weeks ago, But Avast has fixed it now, does AVG know about this same problem??
@Vlct, AVG and Avast use the same virus definitions. In case the mentioned websites are no longer blocked by Avast, it shouldn't be blocked by AVG as well. Since, those website are blocked by AVG on your computer, we may need additional information. Please get in touch with our chat team at https://support.avg.com/support_sales?l=en to get further assistance. When chatting with the technician, you can provide the case number 05025442.

Hello vlct,
I apologize for the inconvenience. Unchecking the ' Enable HTTPS scanning' option is not a permanent solution. To analyze the root cause of the issue, please submit the website URL to us for analysis https://www.avg.com/submit-sample.
