Firewall blocks apache

Hello Dave,
We regret to hear about the inconvenience caused. We suggest you to change the Firewall network settings. Follow the instructions to change the Firewall settings : Open AVG Zen -> Internet Security -> Click on "Menu" in the top right corner -> Settings -> Components -> Firewall -> Customize -> Network Profiles -> Change the networks from "Public" to "Private" (If it is in "Private", change it to "Public")
This would fix the issue. Feel free to let us know if you require further assistance. Thank you.

AVG recently updated something and now I can no longer access my local internet - where I do all my testing/development before uploading. The only way I can use it is if I disable the firewall. I've traied adding application exception, packet rule, everything I can find, but it does not work with firewall. Why would these guys break everyone that does web development?
