Hi Devil,
Did you disable scanning of TSL and SSL traffic?

Open AVG and click "Options" -> "Advanced Settings" -> "Web Browsing Protection" -> "Online Shield" -> "Expert Settings" Uncheck "Scan encrypted (TLS and SSL) network traffic" option

Thanks

Then where is our "Privacy" if you are able to scan the Traffic and since the SSL Cert is given by you,it is possible to decrypt the traffic and make all the data visible in plain text.
Again if I disabled the AVG I am unable to surf the net shows "SSL Connection Error".
