Shane Studte AVG Blocking All internet traffic
My AVG Internet Security keeps blocking all access to the internet. I tried disabling the firewall but it kept blocking access. I uninstall and then reinstall and it resolves the problem for a period of time only for it to occur again. This has been occurring for at least two weeks.
I checked to ensure it wasn't my browser (Firefox) by using other browsers, I checked to ensure it wasn't my network adapter but the only solve to allow internet access was to uninstall AVG.
What can I check to determine why it is blocking all access?

We do understand your concern, we apologize. Let us know the exact name of AVG you have installed, is that paid version or free version of AVG?
We would request you to follow the below steps to reinstall your AVG network filter to get issue fixed.
-Disable AVG Self Protection (http://avgclick.me/TempDisableAVG).
- Go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> right click on the network area which is active -> "Properties"
- If there is "AVG Network filter driver" uninstall it and restart the computer twice
- AVG Firewall initializes auto-repair function so "AVG Network filter driver" should be automatically installed (therefore two restarts are needed)
- If there isn't "AVG Network filter driver" click "Install " -> "Service" -> "Have Disk" -> "Browse" and look for
c:\Program Files\AVG\AVGAV\Drivers\avgfwfd.inf

I used that file instead. Once I selected it the was a request to select a network service with only one option.
Once selected, I got this error:
I have had to uninstall again so that I can post this.
Could you please confirm whether you have selected avgfwfd.inf on the list?
