I have a month old PC, and for the past month I've been running mostly Internet Explorer whenever I surf the net. I also have Firefox as a back up, though w/o saved passwords, history, etc. This morning I visited a site that always gives me an AVG warning in a pop-up window, with multiple block options. Paraphrased (Block this, Don't Block, Block All) I think. It's a safe site, though the pop-up always jumps up every time I visit. I always hit the Block this option (remember, paraphrased from memory) and it lets me continue to my regular browsing. Today I accidentally hit "Block All" or "Block Always" and now Internet Explorer will not open anything. When I boot up the program, and it goes to the MSN homepage it says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." Whenever I try to go to any other domain name, I quickly get the same error. Initially I figured it was an Internet Explorer issue. I went into Internet Options and deleted history, restored factory defaults, etc. and it still happens every time. Then I went into AVG, clicked my firewall options, hoping to see a "AVG Internet Explorer options tab". But I didn't. I see three options "Firewall enabled, Firewall Disabled, Emergency Mode." I clicked "Firewall Disabled" and Internet explorer suddenly worked. So the quick solution to get IE working again is to turn off my firewall, which pretty much defeats the purpose of paying my subscription for AVG, and leaves me at risk. Is there a way to go into the AVG settings as it relates to a particular program and reset the settings or delete recent additions to it? I'm using Firefox for the time being, but I've really gotten used to using IE and I'd like to go back to it.
