I received an email from Veeramani Sivakumar concerning my request # 22165524. My cancellations of my 4 AVG products was acknowledged. I replied to this email at support@help.avg.com because it didn't say no reply. However, once again it said my email was NOT delivered. I am getting extremely frustrated.  I said in my reply "That means that I will receive  a FULL REFUND of $ 59.93 charged to my credit card for AVG Driver Updater as I cancelled it "within 30 days of payment, you're entitled to a full refund." which is your company policy.

Hello everyone,
Every couple of minutes today, I am seeing a pop up window from AVG telling me that an attempt to access a certain site has been blocked "Threat Blocked". It's for a website that I don't believe I accessed, but it is possible - it's connected to a cryptocurrency that I invested in.
I updated the subscription, ran an intelligent scan and a deep scan but nothing has changed.
It still pops up even if I am not active on the internet. 
Has anyone seen anything similar?
Thank you in advance
Ed

Norton offers a Safe Web certificate, which I’ve obtained for my website to ensure its authenticity and security. I was wondering if AVG provides a similar Safe Web certificate for websites?
