AVG is blocking Bluetooth Device

AVG is blocking Bluetooth device. I turned off AVG and my Bluetooth device connected.
What adjustment do I make on AVG settings to allow the USB Bluetooth to connect.

We apologize if you are offended.
It is recommended not to post multiple queries regarding the same issue to speed up the resolution.
That is the reason we requested you to continue any one conversation. If you prefer to continue here, we'd be glad to help.

You replied that you are experiencing this issue on your laptop. To further narrow down this issue, could you disable each component individually and verify the issue?

Hi Avinash,
Yes I have made contact through Facebook.
I have AVG on 2 computers (paid for 2)
I have had a lot of problems with AVG. I have poaid our technical support to resolve some of the issues.I was advised to contact AVG support. The last issue took a week to resolve. ie scanning.
Both AVG's are due to expire this year.  I will be considering renewal based on the on time resolution AVG can provide. your customer care is not in the top 10.
If you had the answer to my problem I cannot understand why you could not have replies with the solution rather than telling me I had contacted AVG through facebook absolute waste of a response and time wasting.

I have already visited support multiple times. what area of AVG protects bluetooth
 
Teresa DonohueTeresa Donohue
I had already done that. I want to know how to sort out the situation without having to turn off AVG everytime I need to connect my device through bluetooth.

Teresa, we'd be able to provide the necessary troubleshooting steps if we know which AVG component is causing this issue.
That is the reason we requested you to disable individual components and verify the issue.
Kindly confirm this to assist you further.
Appreciate your efforts so far.

THE ENHANCED FIREWALL IS BLOCKING USB CONNECTION

Thank you for confirming, Teresa.
I'd request you to click this link for instructions to allow 'File and printer sharing' in AVG firewall settings and verify if the USB connection is allowed.
