Hello
I have noticed that AVG has recently taken to targeting specific emails and web searches. It started with a daily Bible reading email I receive where the contents were blocks and then moved to Christian websites at random were blocked saying they were malicious when they were not. Today I did a Google search for a church for a funeral and the search results were blocked regarding the church but other sites that came up were not. I am also getting a warning to prove I am human when I copy and paste into Google search. Is anyone else getting these? They are seemingly blocking Christian references only as nothing else is getting blocked and these are emails and websites I have received/used for years
This has happened with a number of sites. This site is just an information site advertising different venues etc

Thank you, I switched off the email scanning and the emails it was blocking now come through as they normally do. I will send a screen print of the next browser error
