J kreuzbergerOn AVG screen my shortcuts are shown, it also shows a + sign with add a shortcut written below it. When I tap on this, a widow opens that says add a shortcut with a space to type in a name and URL. Neither of these spaces will accept any writing or typing to do either. This page seems frozen,I have tried many times. Prior to this time, I have added 6 shortcuts. I have updated the browser . How can I use this add a shortcut feature?

Best Answer chosen by Ken SeddonDinesh Krishnan (Avast)Hi Ken,
We're glad to look into this & help you.
Initially, please clarify whether this happens in a specific browser or irrespective of browsers & whether you use any VPN service.
Also, let us know the version of AVG that is installed on your computer (Open AVG - Menu - About).
Meanwhile, please disable Web Shield individually to check if it helps (Open AVG - Web & Email - Click on toggle bar in Web shield to disable it temporarily).

Stephen M Why does AVG prevent me loading a legitimate national Sky help forum?
Whenever I use Chrome as a browser, and I try to open a link from an email notification (or even just direct) on the Sky community help forum, AVG WebShield prevents it opening, and gives me a 'privacy error.It works perfectly well in FireFox. This is the message I get...Why does WebShield prevent me seeing a perfectly legitimate web site?
Best Answer chosen by Stephen MStephen MMany thanks for your help so far. I have just discovered a neat workaround.
In WebMail I have added the Sky 'help forum' as an exception, so that AVG simply ignores it when I use the link. It's not a proper 'fix', but nonetheless, perfectly acceptable. I'm an old man, and my appetite for sorting out stupid IT issues has now worn out since I Ist started when MS launched Windows 3.1 in the 90s LOL

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.

David Pel Spam URL repeatedly blocked
since I installed AVG, which I have used in the past, first time on Win 11, I am getting a pop-up regarding s.viinxd.com constantly, I thought maybe it was something with FaceBook, but it is happening even when I am not on FB:
Threat name: URL:Scam
URL https://s.viinxd.com (and a long string of junk).
Process: c:\program files\google\chrome\applications\chrome.exe
Detected by: Web Shield
Status: Connection aborted
I would like to make Chrome stop doing this, as it's mildly annoying but I don't see how to remediate the issue.
