Hello Lars,
Sorry to hear about this. AVG Ransomware Protection secures your personal photos, documents, and files from being modified, deleted, or encrypted by ransomware attacks. This feature scans for and automatically secures folders which may contain personal data and allows you to specify which other folders you want to protect from untrusted applications. Additionally, you can specify which applications are allowed to modify the files in your folders and which applications are always blocked.
Hence please follow below steps to unblock Word starter application from the blocked list of AVG Ransomware protection:
1. Open the AVG management console and click Internet Security.
2. Go to Menu ▸ Settings ▸ Ransomware Protection.
3. Select the Blocked/Allowed apps tab.
4. Click Block an App or Allow an App, then select that Word starter application and click Open.
5. The application appears in the relevant list. Click 'close' to return to the main Ransomware Protection screen.

I was in Word (starter version) and when I tried to save the file and avg window popped up saying do I want to block this app from saving to the cloud. I hit Ok partly by mistake and also I don't want to use cloud storage, and now I can't save any word document.
How do I change avg to allow winword to save files?
thanks
Lars
