Hello Amy. Sorry to hear that. I would request you to try disabling individual components of AVG by following the instructions mentioned in this link: http://avgread.me/1Hemdjc and check your internet connection. If the issue persists please try disabling AVG temporarily by following the instructions mentioned in this link: http://avgread.me/1GnMD3N and check for the connection. Is the issue with all the websites or for a particular websites?
Try to disable AVG firewall and see if you can connect Public Wifi. http://avgread.me/1CnYNce. Let us know the details. Thanks.
Hi Subhadeep,
I tried turning off the firewall as you suggested, but the connection still wouldn't work.
The problem seems to be intermittent - occasionally it will open web pages, then fails again.
I know the wifi itself is fine, because I'm using it on my phone.

Hi,
I am trying to use a public wifi connection, but AVG is blocking the connection.
I can start using the public wifi, but then it fails. My computer tells me that I am connected to wifi, but my web browsers will not connect.
The public wifi uses cookies
I am using Windows 8.1 and AVG 2015
Are there some settings I need to change?
Amy
