Hi Doug,

We're glad to clarify this for you.
Usually, AVG blocks any malicious content & notifies you about it.
From your description, it possible seems to be a false positive. In this regard, we suggest you to submit a false positive request.
Once the concerned team, inform you about the status, you can either proceed to check or add it to exceptions in AVG program.

I was going to a legitimate site and AVG blacklisted it. I had to spend the next ten minutes of trial and error before I finally was able to get to the site. There needs to be a provision to allow when you know something is legitimate. Also, this data can be sent to AVG to eliminate false positives. Is there a feature in the settings that allow you to control this?
