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,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community.
We're glad to look into this & help you.
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?

Best Answer chosen by Awn AKishore Kumar (Avast)Hello Awm,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
We understand concern regarding different AVG subscription. We'll certainly check and help you out.
I'll let you know about each product.
AVG AntiTrack is a privacy application designed to keep your identity safe from the latest online tracking techniques and protect your system privacy. AVG AntiTrack injects fake information into the data that makes up your digital fingerprint. This action changes what information trackers, and third parties can see about you. AVG AntiTrack also clears tracking cookies and browser data from your web browsers.
AVG Secure VPN is an application that allows you to connect to the internet via secure AVG VPN servers using an encrypted tunnel to protect your online activity from eavesdropping. AVG Secure VPN can be used any time you want to connect to the internet with extra security and privacy. This is especially recommended when you are connected to a public or unsecured wireless network.
AVG Internet Security is our intelligent antivirus software that detect viruses, malware, spyware, ransomware, phishing, and other threats in real-time.
The 3 products serve different purpose and will not override with each other as they run independently.
We have our bundle pack named AVG Ultimate, which consists of 4 products namely: AVG AntiTrack, AVG Secure VPN, AVG Internet Security and AVG Tune Up. This bundle pack will cost less, compared to the total cost of all the 3 software. AVG Ultimate will provide you with immense protection and boosted PC performance.
If you are interested to avail, do let us know. I'll help you to check.
Awaiting your response.

Marion Teichman URL Phishing
So a few months ago I went to a website that I use daily and all of a sudden Threat secured popped up URL: Phishing. I put the website on the exceptions list with zero success. In order for me to go to the website I have to turn off the web shield. Then it works fine. I should not have to do this for one website! I contacted AVG though the help area and had a rep sign into my computer to try to fix the problem. Something that he said would take a few minutes to fix turned into an hour and still not been fixed. He could not find the issue and said I should uninstall google chrome because that was obviously the problem. I did this, rebooted the computer, installed a fresh version with no success as well. I tried opening the website with internet explorer and have the same problem. I have the paid version of AVG and want this website added to the exception list. If I am paying for a service I would like for my problem to be fixed without having to jump through several hoops (which obviously did not help). I pay for AVG to keep my computer safe not cause me a headache.

Patricia Hackenschmidt Anti-Spam blocked senders list in AVG Internet Security for 2019
Three quick questions I can't seem to find the answer to elsewhere, including AVG support search.
1. How many entries can you make into the blocked senders list?
2. Is there a way to import a list of blocked senders? I'd like to import my MS Outlook list into it.
3. Does AVG totally block these entries (meaning you never see them) or just mark them as spam in outlook?
