The problem is last Antitrack update. Lots and lots of users are having the same problem. Same for me.
And AVG people here... are sending instructions via email, instead of posting the solution HERE. It seems to be so secret stuff!!!! LOL
And much better if they released another update, fixing this problem once and for all. But they don't ;)
Meanwhile... just:
- Uncheck "run antitrack at windows start" on the antitrack options (for not having to do the next 2 steps each time you turn on your computer)
- Close antitrack from the system tray
- Kill "avgantitrackfilter.exe" proccess in the task manager
DONE. You will have your internet connection working perfectly again.
And the MOST IMPORTANT step: DEMAND AVG FOR REFUND, as they sold you a completely crappy software.

My browser is Google Chrome. I'll try to disable the AVG AntiTrack for it. As for which scan is running - AVG notifications randomly pop up, usually announcing I'm 88% protected or something like that. There are other notifications which pop up less frequently. I'll make note of what they are.
Hello Katherine.
Could you confirm which scan is running automatically? Regarding the internet searches, which web browser do you use usually?
Disable AVG AntiTrack protection for that browser and verify the issue. Open AVG AntiTrack, click Browser protection tile to disable browser protection.
It appears AVG is increasingly protecting me from myself. Slows down or freezes my laptop for up to 15 minutes with scans I did not initiate, then helpfully suggests I sign up for even more protection! Already have Tune Up, Breach Guard and Anti Track. Sometimes I'm unable to perform a Google Chrome search of any kind. The only solution is a restart, which also takes a while and then I can move forward until the next time. Has anyone else experienced the same?
