Access to Facebook, Youtube and AVG log in

Hi,
I have been reasonably happy with my Avg Ultimate but now i seem to have some problems.
To start with, my location is in China, this could also enhance the problems. I am unable to log in to My Account.because after pushing the log in key, I am instructed to check the box- there is no box to check-maybe this is a China problem!! 
Until recently I have been able to access Facebook & Youtube but now I am being stopped and one of the error messages attributed it to AVG. I am able to access them on other devices & computers. The latter problems have happened after the change in format of AVG.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello Andrew,
I request you to disable HTTPS scan (please open AVG > menu > settings > components > online shield > customized settings > uncheck the box HTTPS scan), check if the issue still persist, please let us know the issues ( blocking websites and AVG MyAccount login) does not happen on other devices connected in the same network. Also try to connect with a different network and check is the issue still persist. We look forward for your reply.
Best regards,
Alok.

Hi,
Just before I received your last update I tried typing the full address eg. https:// etc and I managed to get into Youtube but not Facebook. Unchecking the Https scan box did not appear to do anything.
I have had no success with the log in issues on this computer but I was able to login to Myaccount through my wifes' laptop. I tried to renew my subscription and that failed.
I will be returning to Australia in under 3 weeks so I will renew from there.
i have also noticed that each time I start up this computer I get an update error message from AVG.and looking at the Program updateit shows current version 17.3.3011 release date 30.3.2017 but it shows a new version dated 3.5.2017 but i am unable to download it.
Maybe I would be best to reinstall AVG when I am back in Australia?
Regards
Andrew

Hi,
I have run Clear tool twice and was only able to use the I nternet Security link once- it would not work a second time. I have just uploaded the trial version and am getting popups.The reason I ran it a second time was that the updates still were showing errors. I have not run updates as yet on this latest Internet Security.
I will be back in Australia next week so I hope this will allow me to login and renew my subscription.
Still I am unable to access Both Facebook and Youtube. One thing I have noticed is that before the address bar having - https://address , it shows a O with an i inside and does not show the closed lock and the Secure sign.

Thank you for trying the AVG clear tool instructions provided before.
The Facebook website link appears to be fine but we have to find what is causing the issue.
In this case, I have sent the email instructions to get our additional support help.
If the email is not present in the inbox, do check it on spam and junk folders.

I am now in Australia and the most of the problems I was having, have resolved themselves.
I have renewed my subscription with Avg but it does not appear to be updating properly.

Thank you for providing the screenshot and clarifying the concern.
I see that it says as update available but it doesn't get updated.
Please perform reinstallation of AVG Internet Security program once and check whether the issue gets resolved.
