Losing connection to server after update downloads

I am finding that after any updates are automatically downloaded I lose the connection to my server and have to restart my pc.   At first I attributed this to other software I was running but I've since uninstalled that.  Now it seems that it's actually the AVG updates that may be causing this to happen since if I check the time of the update, it coincides with my losing my connection to my server.  This has been going on for about a month and I've had AVG installed for at least 4 years and never had this problem before.
