AVG Problems with Excel and Word

AVG seems to be interfering with Excel and Word; I have office 2016.  I can only open excel in read only and cant even copy and save under another name.  Also cant save word files

Hello Scott,

I understand the inconvenience. Please open AVG Internet Security > Hacker Protection > click the gear icon under Ransomware >  Manage blocked and allowed applications > allow Office files and check the status.
