Is AVG blocking TWC Security Forum?

[HappyAndyK]

Is anyone using AVG here?

If so can you please check up if it is blocking this specific forum URL of The Windows Club? I have been given to understand that this is the case.

Windows Security - http://forum.thewindowsclub.com/windows-security/

For this to occur you have to have the Link Scanner enabled. At least, thats what happened with me in AVG Anti-Virus Free.

What do you get when you click on 'More information about this thread'?

Strange why only the Security Forum is blocked!

[AndyAtHull]

It directs you to this URL: http://free.avg.com/gb-en/virus-encyclopedia?IDN=QEVJRF9JZF9leHB8JW5hbWUlPVJvZ3VlI FNjYW5uZXIgKHR5cGUgMTA5Mil8

Maybe they just do not want their users to visit our Security forums for whatever reasons.

Did it / Does it get a bad press in the Security Forums?? (Nod32 AV here BTW so can't try it!)

With forums like this one and smaller forums like mine, most helpers know each other from many many other forums. If and when something like this arises, one of us take on the big guns and others support. I can name many situations. What I do not get, is something Corrine tweeted. And that is that this forum is a MS featured community. Why on earth should this site even be blocked.

Maybe it's a glitch, or maybe it isnt. It's just stupid.

Andy, have you made any attempts to contact AVG?
