AVG Protection

Hi Linda.
We're here to help. It could be possible that these applications are added to protected applications in AVG Ransom ware protection settings.

To verify, open AVG Internet Security, click Hackers attack, click 'Open' above Ransom ware protection. Click on 'Blocked/Allowed apps' and check if MS Word and Excel are listed under blocked apps. If they are, remove them and add to 'Allowed apps' list.

All of a sudden my Excel  files have become READ ONLY.  I queried it in Excel & it said it may have been caused by my Internet Security/Antivirus. How do I fix this??? Please???
