When will it be resolved? (What do you mean by 'very soon'?) And can you post here when it has been resolved? This online shield issue will be resolved very soon.' To Karthikeyan (AVG Technologies): you stated above that 'We have already escalated this to the developer team and they are working on a permanent fix. ++ Why doesn't AVG actually produce some sort of message to the user when it decides to just stop downloading some household-name website partway through so we actually get SOME HELP and SOME CLUE what is happening? ++ I previously also tried a bunch of other things not related to AVG: like changing DNS servers, flushing the DNS cache, deleting cache and history, resetting browsers, etc., etc., etc., (etc.) But of course, none of that turns out to be relevant. The only thing that works is to turn Online Shield off. I'll be partway through watching course videos and they just stop, or other things don't load. Made no difference to me like it made no difference to the person to whom it was suggested.

I did a 'repair' to AVG via Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Change (etc), and then restarted the computer (as suggested in one of these AVG threads). I discovered the following in my search for a solution (which is what finally saved my a$$):ДЄnd it appears there are a few other people having the same problem: This problem clearly goes back to at least 2013. (This problem by AVG has probably cost me around 4 days or so over the last few weeks in total it has hampered my ability to get on with work and study that much in addition to the time spent attempting to resolve it.) I FINALLY discovered that the culprit is AVG's 'Online Shield' component, after many (many) hours of time wasted trying different things. Here are a couple of screenshots: one with AVG Online Shield On (photos and ad don't display, and the blue downloading circle in the browser tab rotates forever) and one with Online Shield switched Off (website with all photos loads fine and very quickly). This happens in both Firefox and Chrome: when it starts happening in one, it happens immediately in the other.

Once this starts, I have to restart the computer to download any website at all (for a while, then it gets worse the longer I use the browser, until I have to restart the PC again.) Once that happens, entering a URL in the address bar produce no response whatsoever. Right-clicking on links to open them in new tabs will often lead to NOTHING at all downloading in those tabs. Only part of videos download, then I get one of those rotating arrows/circles for ever.

Google maps suddenly fail to update as I scroll or zoom WHAT A MAJOR, MAJOR INCONVENIENCE THIS HAS BEEN!

I too have been having a similar problem - FOR WEEKS!
