I have a feeling it was the internet suite trial
AVG 8 antivirus/spyware would not block sites...

Doesn't sound like the program is not working properly, it sounds like she's saying that she needs help in understanding how to use what she already has.

The link that is given above is for a different program (strictly antivirus) than the one she was talking about, which includes more than just antivirus.. I believe she is saying that she needs help understanding the internet security settings and what it is talking about when it asks her whether or not to allow things on the approved list.
