Hi Philip, sorry for the inconvenience, please disable AVG and add the steam to AVG Exception list. Please use the below link to know how to do it.

Hi Philip, thanks for the information.   You can fix the web component by installing the latest Firefox or internet explorer with AVG web-protection. Open web component and then try to Fix it. You cannot install it if you are using google Chrome. You can also directly install the AVG web tune Up in Firefox or Internet Explorer by downloading it from http://www.avg.com/us-en/web-tuneup . Let us know if you have any issue. Thank you
