AVG blocking internet access

I have a big problem with avg blocking my internet access, as I see do many other people. Every day I have to uninstall to get my internet back and then reinstall to be protected, which costs me about 30 minutes of my working day. This is intolarable! I use the FREE version, but I was going to buy the full version. Unless this problems is fixed within the next 2 days, I am going to buy McAfee. I can't NOT be protected and I can't NOT be connected to internet. Please advise

Hello Di,
We are sorry to know that. Please be informed that this issue might have caused due to an incorrect update. When the internet connection is blocked. We suggest you to disable AVG temporarily and see if you are able to connect to internet http://avgclick.me/TempDisableAVG

Hi! Yes, I have tried disable. I am at the point where I have to uninstall AVG at an average of 1 time per day, get access, then reinstall, because I want to be protected. I have also tried the remover tool (many times) to clean out old AVG content, but the same problem persists.
An antivirus, you have to disable in order to connect to internet doesn't have a point. Is there no other solution??

Hello Di,
We really appreciate your valuable efforts, which you have taken to fix it. We would request you to follow the below steps to reinstall your AVG network filter to get issue fixed.
-Disable AVG Self Protection.
- 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 the issue persist, please let us know, we are here to help you.
Thank you.

No, that didn't work either. It didn't autorepair, just wrote a yellow 0 at the bottom of the avg window and reported a firewall error, so it wouldn't do anything. Any other solutions?
