Rickey Becker Not Updating Application or Virus Defintion
Suddenly I can not access the internet. The Application shows out of date and I can not update that or the Virus definition. I have tried for an hour. all I get is the Rotating circle fore both, and then after a while it says something went wrong, please try again. It shows I am connected to my network with a Internet connection and an Unidentified network with internet connection. My VPN is connected but will not obtain a IP Address. My other Laptop works fine with all the same settings on AVG. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Best Answer chosen by Rickey BeckerMidhun Aloor (AVG)Hi Rickey,
We regret the inconvenience caused.
Initially, we request you to repair your AVG Internet Security as mentioned in this article & check if you're still unable to update your AVG Virus definitions & the program itself.
Secondly, try changing the location/server of your AVG secure VPN (preferably to one of the P2P or streaming servers) & check if the issue still persists.
Keep us updated.
Jackie Holland Threat Secured message
Please help! I've had a threat secured message that keeps popping up on my screen every minute. I've run a scan several times. I've contacted the website concerned and they know there is a problem but I don't understand why I keep getting the message.

Elizbeth Neilly Unauthorised pyments taken from my account.
How do I get AVG to stop taking annual payments from my account? For four years they have billed my account via an e-mail address I cancellled more than four years ago, The security originally purchased was for computers I no longer have in my possession. I have tried many, many times each year to get this subscription cancelled both by using customer support on line (which was useless on every occasion) and by cancelling my PayPal account (they have taken the money frsom my account each year on behalf of AVG,, but it would seem that AVG nor PayPal bother to query why the licences have not been activated . Pay Pal said it was a problem that I needed to sort out with AVG and AVG support say NOTHING!! We are now coming up to the beginning of September and I need to be assured that I will NOT find a further £49.99 is taken from my account on or about the 24th September. I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD E-MAIL ADDRESS which was used when I took out the security with AVG. PLEASE WILL SOMEBODY HAVE THE DECENCY TO STOP TAKING ANY MORE MONEY FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT. I SUPPOSE IT IS TOO MUCH TO EXPECT THEY WILL DO THE DECENT THING AND REPAY ME FOR THE ALMOST £200 they have taken from me.

Merv Soh Forticlient unable to connect Firewall after recent AVG update
Hi,
I have been using AVG and FortiClient with no issue for a long time. Recently my FortiClient is unable to connect to my Firewall for Remote Access, after spending many hours troubleshooting, I tried disenabling AVG and the FortiClient can connect immediately...
Is there a bug on the recent updates or is there a way to workaround it without disenabling AVG? Thank you.

As we're uncertain about the settings that you've already configured, we're mentioning the required settings to be modified.
If they're not already configured, please do modify & let us know if it helps.
Open AVG Internet Security - Menu - Settings - Full protection - Enhanced firewall - Enable 'Internet connection sharing mode'.
Later enable 1st 2 options : File & printer sharing, remote desktop connections in System rules.
If the above mentioned settings are already configured, please share us the screenshot of the rule that indicates regarding the block.
