The problem is last Antitrack update. Lots and lots of users are having the same problem. Same for me.
And AVG people here... are sending instructions via email, instead of posting the solution HERE. It seems to be so secret stuff!!!! LOL
And much better if they released another update, fixing this problem once and for all. But they don't ;)
Meanwhile... just:
- Uncheck "run antitrack at windows start" on the antitrack options (for not having to do the next 2 steps each time you turn on your computer)
- Close antitrack from the system tray
- Kill "avgantitrackfilter.exe" proccess in the task manager
DONE. You will have your internet connection working perfectly again.
And the MOST IMPORTANT step: DEMAND AVG FOR REFUND, as they sold you a completely crappy software.
I think this is the fallout from the cyber attack today

I suggest letting things settle and then try again... I now appear to have a settled internet... but I am avoiding Facebook like the plague today.... Hope that helps, regards Pete
Hello Pete.
I would request you to allow all connetions for AntiTrack filter in AVG Internet Security firewall settings.
Open AVG -> Hacker attacks -> firewall -> application rules -> Select AVG sro -> Antitrack filter. Against AntiTrack filter, you will see vertical bars indicating the connections allowed for this filter through AVG firewall.
Click the last bar to allow all connections and verify if that resolves the issue.
Is anyone having a problem with facebook?
If I go to Facebook and try to post something - it kills my internet... I read on another forum that another user is having this issue. Any suggestions?
I did as you suggested, makes no difference.
As soon as I visit FB my internet just stops, no internet, no email nothing
I have to reboot my PC to get connected again..
Please help.... tearing my hair out here
