Hello Greg,
I can definitely see how upsetting this would be. Please check if AVG firewall is configured with below recommended settings or not.
Open AVG Internet Security->Menu->Settings->Components->Firewall->Customize->Network Profile and change it to Private.
Open AVG Internet Security->Menu->Settings->Components->Firewall->Customize->Policies->System Rules and set all rules to "Enabled".
Make sure the above settings are applied and let us know if the issue persist.
I am running AVG Internet Security and Microsoft Outlook, part of Office 2010
For the past few weeks I have been having issues with Outlook.
95% of the time I get the message "Trying to connect to server". I have not made any changes to Outlook and was wondering if any AVG updates may be causing the problem.
I have used the AVG repair option but nothing has changed.
Normal internet access is not affected.
Does anyone have any suggestions please.

Hi Avinash,
I made the changes you recommended and Outlook now appears to be working fine.
Thanks for your help
