I'm having a lot of problems bringing up web pages. Google chrome isn't to bad but its made msn useless. I'm real close to removing it and investing in something less intrusive.
John,
I can understand how upset you must be.
Could you tell me which AVG Program have you installed on your computer?
If you have installed AVG Internet Security Trial version, I suggest you to change the firewall network profile from "Public" to "Private" and check if that fixes the issue. To change this settings, please open the AVG Internet Security and click on Menu>Settings>Components>Firewall>Customize>Network profile.
Also, please Enable all the System Rules under Menu>Settings>Components>Firewall>Customize>Policies.
