ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Hi there,
Ever since I received an update to my internet security I have been unable to open 80% of websites including yours. I keep getting the protocol error message.
On top of this your numerous programs continuously keep asking for permission even though I keep telling it to remember the setting.
I am running Chrome and need this fixed asap.
I have tried most of the recommendations online other than those that require complete disabling of firewalls or protection.

Righto, so it is the web shield that is screwing everything up. What do I do to keep it on but not affect my internet access please?

We've released a new version of AVG Internet Security. We request you to update your program, restart your PC and check for the issue status.
1, Go to  Menu > Settings.
2, Ensure General is selected in the left panel and click Update.

If the issue persists, I've sent an email instruction for reinstallation.
Please check your email and follow the instructions.
Thank you.
