MARION HARRISON AVG 2017 ultimate update is blocking internet access
Hi, I use the paid version of AVG. My AVG automatically upgraded to AVG 2017 last week and since then it is blocking all access to to the internet - including access to the AVG website. Inorder to access the internet I have to disable AVG.
This is totally unacceptable - why am I paying for something that I cannot use.
I also cannot acces online help. There is no longer a chat session availble.
Please!! can someone help? If not I will have to look at other antivirus installations. I have been using AVG (paid) for some time. So this is all very distressing.

Juan Rodriguez Allow Traffic from VMWare Player
Hello,
After the last update, the virtual machines (VMWare Player) specific cannot connect to internet. In the last versions, there was an option to allow traffic for specifi applications but setting the route which was removed (I don't know why the bad idea of removing it as if their target market was IT pros). There was also an even more convenient option reading "Allow any traffic from/to virtual machines supported by Firewall" that was also removed.
I tried to enable the option for AVG to ask wether to allow the traffic, but it seems to work with applications installed in the local computer, but it never asks for Vmware itself, less for the software installed in the virtual machine.
Loosing those features is a step backwards in user convenience.
How can I allow the Firewall to pass virtual machine traffic?
Are the above mentioned features something AVG is planning to add back or should the users that prefer this commodity start looking for other protection options?
I am currently on AVG:
Version: 17.3.3011 (build 17.3.3443.0)
Released: 2017/03/30 04:54:28

Best Answer chosen by Juan RodriguezJuan RodriguezPlaying around with the settings, I realized that checking the option "Internet Connection Sharing" (I don't know the exact translation as I have it in Spanish) under "Firewall -> Policies -> Preferences" fixes the issues. I am not sure if is the best method, but it does the job.

John Smith How do I make these AVG popups STOP???
Yesterday AVG popped this message up at me: http://i.imgur.com/xgmGERj.png
I keep getting messages like this popping up from AVG, even though I have system tray notifications turned OFF. I'm getting really sick of seeing these blatant advertisements from AVG, and if there isn't a way to make these messages stop, I will consider AVG to be adware and uninstall it. AVG should work in the background without me having to think about it, these messages are UNACCEPTABLE.

I'd like to announce that it's possible to change the frequency of the advertising pop-ups (even completely disable in paid versions) in the recently updated version of AVG. Please visit this article (http://avgread.me/popups) to find out more.

Thanks!

Sylvia Gramaine Concerning the "Your online security is incomplete" Notification
Hi,
I have been a long-time user of AVG (more than a decade), and have been satisfied so far with AVG products.
However, recently, a pop-up notification has been appearing, saying that "Your online security is incomplete\nInstall online security features for maximum protection". Here is a screenshot:
I have a separate security solution for online, so I click "No Thanks". This closes the window, and yet it returns a few minutes later.
This is completely unacceptable. Besides being pointless, the window disrupts any fullscreen application. It occurred this weekend during my conference presentation, which was both thoroughly embarrassing and disruptive.
I have not been able to find a solution myself, and the consensus seems to be that:
1: General agreement that this is both annoying and unacceptable
2: The resolution by current AVG representatives has been heretofore unsatisfactory, and with any due respect, borderline incompetent. For example, see this thread.
3: Perhaps a method of advertising that only exists in free versions.
Now, as I wrote, I have been a long-time user of AVG, and I would like to continue to be. The problem is that this is actively damaging to the use of my computer for research. This means that I cannot use AVG, if this continues.
I am writing to ask one question: will you please promptly remove this behavior? If yes, then I will be able to happily continue using your product. If not, then please tell me so in plain words so that I can uninstall AVG and seek an alternate solution. Since it is your software, you are of course permitted to make either choice. But I hope you shall elect to remove this notification, as I do not believe you aim to be driving away your user base.
Thank you for reading,
-S

Best Answer chosen by Sylvia GramaineSylvia Gramaine"If you are getting the same \"Online security\" popup from AVG then it is our legitimate business campaign and it cannot be stopped."
Alright then. Farewell, AVG. It has been a good decade or so, but it's time to call it quits. It's too bad you won't reconsider. But . . . well, I truly hope your marketing campaign works out for you somehow.
Best wishes from me and the lab,
Sylvia.
