Web Shield Blocking ALL Traffic

Hi Erin,

Initially, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
There was an issue yesterday with the network connectivity, when AVG protection is enabled, which has been fixed by our developers.
Please try the steps in this article & let us know if it helps.

AVG Web Shield is preventing all internet traffic, including DNS lookups. I am able to ping IP addresses in CMD, but cannot even access IP only traffic in all browsers. 

When I disable web shield, things work as normal. This seemed to happen spontaneously, as last night everything was working fine with web shield active. Rebooting fixes nothing. Restarting AVG doesn't fix anything either.

Unsure if there was an update that broke something or what. Any assistance would be helpful!
