03-31-2022 AVG is blocking an incoming connection from PC A (Win10) - to LapTop A (Win10) Both machines are on the same network, and both are using AVG PRO.
I regularly access files on my PC from my LapTop to work on them in the evening. On 03-30-2022, last night, I was blocked and blocked again this morning.
