Hello Fern

This problem has been experienced by many users and its quite a new problem. Apparently, there areconflicts between Chrome and AVG's Resident Shield or Identity Protection.

If you deactivate those, Chrome should work fine, though it's not recommended. But the developers at AVG are working towards solving this issue and hopefully you may get some solution after some time.

Happy Computing 🙂
