Can't make new TXT files on Dekstop

I performed the EICAR_TEST by  putting the relevant data in a blank "New Text Document.txt" file on my desktop. After performing the test I am no longer able to create new/blank TXT files on my desktop via the right-click context menu.

How do I resolve this issue? Why is AVG now blocking files with the name "New Text Document.txt" and not checking if the file contains the EICAR_TEST test code?
