Two days ago, my AVG Antivirus Free program ( Software version 17.8.3036 ) started showing a "Connection not established" message, even though the virus definition updates were downloaded and applied. This is happening with my hand built desktop pc and my Lenovo Thinkpad T530 laptop, each using the Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. Why doesn't the program show "Connection is established" anymore? I installed the latest version of the program and restarted as instructed. But the problem still exists.
I did not have to implement your latest suggestion. "Connection is established" appears all of the time. The problem was that the the Proxy Setting was "Specify proxy server" instead of "Direct connection ( no proxy)." All is well now on my laptop and desktop pc. Thank you for your persistance and for not giving up on me.

I did a Repair, and it did not solve the problem completely. It varies from "Connection established" to "Connection not established", without me doing anything. It flips back and forth, as if your server is unstable and it cannot lock the connection.
