I enabled security here at home this past week (WEP) and with AVG from
Grisoft the email is blocked. I followed the advice on the AVG web site but
still no luck. It is strange in that I have no problem at my office with
the same setups (Linksys Wireless G)

Anyone ever run into this.

What makes you think this is AVG doing it? I have no problems with a
similar setup.
Do some tests:
disable / uninstall / reinstall AVG, test at each stage, see if that
fixes it.
ditto WEP. In fact, do WEP first.

The reason is that when I uninstall AVG the problem goes away. Reinstall of
AVG email is once again blocked.

Will disable WEP and see what happens.

I know this is not helpful, but informative, I use AVG with several Linksys
AP's and have no problems. Could it be you WEP keys r incorrect?

- What MUA (mail user agent) are you using? IE6? Thunderbird?
Outlook? Have you tried more than one?
- What do you mean by blocked? Incoming? Outgoing? Both? Error
messages?
- What do you mean that you "enabled security"? Does that mean that
you were running without a virus scanner for an extended period? Did
you get a virus which inspired this exercise? If so, have your
totally and completely removed the virus?
- Have you checked for spyware? If not, I suggest Microsoft
Anti-Spyware. It probably has no effect on the email problem, but
should be done anyway.
- Were you recently running a different Anti-Virus program? These run
servers on the same ports as AVG. If they were not completely removed
and their servers were still running, you will have a problem. Start
with:
http://www.WindowsStartup.com
Run it and see whether there's anything running left over from your
previous anti-virus scanner. Then, go to the vendors web pile and
download the removal tools. With Norton, be sure to also remove
LiveReg and Live Update (except if you have other Symantec products
installed).

Please note that this has very little to do with wireless internet.
