AVG preventing program from opening after routine avg update. Was all ok but not now

Hello Robert,

I apologize for the inconvenience. Please follow the below steps to check if that fixes the issue.

1) Open AVG Internet Security dashboard, click on "Menu-->Settings-->Components-->Firewall-->Customize"
2) To the right of "Policies" scroll down to click on "System Rules"
3) Enable the option for "Windows file sharing and printing", "allow remote desktop connection" and the last entry "Enable stealth mode"
4) Below policies, click on "Network Profiles" to the right, click on the network connection and change the profile to "Private" if it is set to "Public".

If the issue persists, please disable each component one at a time and check which component is blocking the access.

Spitting feathers!! Sharp cap worked fine until avg did routine update then it wouldn’t. This is on windows 8. Same avg update on windows 7 did not affect program on other pc. If I uninstall avg unlimited on windows 8 laptop the program opens fine but as soon as avg reinstalled... no joy!! Tried exception rules and other things but the two are not working together and I need this Astro imaging software to work. AVG in danger of losing my custom after some years
