Hi Nuala,
This isn't the expected behavior.
May I know how did you confirm that AVG Internet Security was blocking the download of Microsoft Office?
AVG is blocking me download Microsoft Office. Why is this? And how can I get past it.
Well, I've only opened Word and Excel and they've been both fine. Also Outlook is being used and ok. So not sure why it wanted to block this. When I originally installed Office I didn't have an issue. Its only been when I've had to reinstall that this has happened. It wouldn't allow me to insert the Product Key this time. So not sure what's going on.

Thank you for clarifying, Nuala.
Usually, AVG blocks the connection to malicious url. Sometimes, there might be an incorrect detection due to lack of virs definitions.
Please let us know if you're able to access MS Office without any issues, that was downloaded from the site which was blocked by AVG.
Nuala, it looks like the website was blocked by AVG and not the Microsoft office application.
Since other programs of MS office are working, then the issue should be else where.
To identify and fix it, we request you to contact Microsoft support.
Please submit the exact URL that was blocked by AVG as threat through this https://www.avg.com/false-positive-file-form website.
Hi. I had to reinstall Windows on my new computer. I then reinstalled AVG and when I went to reinstall Microsoft Office - from the Microsoft Office website - AVG popped up and said it was blocking this site as malicious. I had to disable AVG temporarily to download the software.
