Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.bestbuy.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards)."

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).
