Hello David,

I am sorry to hear this. Have you installed the latest 2017 version of AVG Internet Security?

I am using vmware player, and one of the vm is using bridged network connection.  When AVG firewall is enabled, the vm loses network connection.  I have fiddled with the firewall settings, but it didn't work. Currently, the only way to gain network access from the vm is to turn off the AVG firewall.  Is there a solution to this other than turning off the firewall?
