Your solution to my Windows Vista problem where i couldn't open "Medicare.gov" or my banking web site (described below) worked.  Both web sites are perfectly functional now. 

For the record, and use by others,  I am repeating your solution below:

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
