We're sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Since you think that this is a false detection being made by AVG, please submit the detected website for false-positive analysis using this link.
Once you've submitted the false-positive report, our concerned team will analyze the website and if found harmless, they'll whitelist it right away. Furthermore, they'll update the status via email.
Thank you for understanding in advance!

Melissa Greene VPN Constantly disconnecting...
Why is my VPN constantly disconnecting? I look down and it's gone from green dot to red then my security is off too, but my internet is just fine. What is the deal? I have checked my computer and AVG is using most of my energy and storage. Let's talk about it.
Best Answer chosen by Melissa GreeneDinesh Krishnan (Avast)Hi Melissa,

Please restart your computer once & try connecting to a different server (location) in AVG Secure VPN to check if it helps.
Also, share us the screenshot of task manager that shows the memory consumption by AVG, for better clarity.

Awn A Need an Answer
Hi! just wondering if someone might able to give a comparison and their insights for:
1. AVG AntiTrack
2.AVG Secure VPN
3. AVG Internet Security
I feel like these 3 serves the same purpose and might only differ for one or two built in feature.
Do we really need to have these 3? Will one app or the other would override some functions or make one and the other useless?
If we don't necessarily need to have those 3, which one would be the best app to have that gives more area of protection?
