Hello Jonathan,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Could you please send us the screenshot of the threat pop up that you received.

Awaiting your response.
No, I cannot. I copied the salient part of the URL and the message it provided. Then I closed the window. Is this a threat, or a false response?
Message from Web Shield is:
Web threat secured.
We've blocked a threat URL:Blacklist on https://people-pa.clients6.google.com/ ... from being downloaded.
Severity 2/3
While I'll grant you that Google can seem threatening, this seems like a false detection. Am I missing something?
