My Brother wifi printer keeps going offline, and the only way to get it to go online again seems to be
1. delete printer
2. turn AVG off
3. add printer
4. turn AVG back on
5. wait for it to happen again and repeat. 

It did not happen before. When did AVG start installing this driver? Might this be the cause?

This mysteriously appeared on my internet network 6…did AVG install this?  I was never notified of this and seems very suspicious … have tried to delete it, but was not able to…
