Whenever AVG Free updates the virus signature, I lose ability to browse/download.  Speed test confirms download speeds are less than 2 Mbps (on a 500 Mbps wifi connection) while upload speeds are unaffected.  I have no firewall (AVG or otherwise) installed or active.  A reboot will resolve the issue until AVG virus signature is again updated.  This is a recent development (within the last 7 days).
