I'm not a fan of AVG myself.

Try out Avast or Avira. I used to use Avast, I switched over to Avira when I was told that it's much less of a resource hog. Both work very well and I've had no issues with either.

Avast is one of the top virus protection programs out there, consuming relatively little resources, and capturing malicious data much more efficiently than other software other.

It won the VB100 award. It was one of a few software programs to actually pass all of the tests.

I highly recommend Avast.

AVG is also good. I believe it passed the tests for VB100 this month, as well.

As far as free AV goes, Avira is undoubtedly the class leader.

I'm a member of Wilders Forums (security software specialists)..
So you can have my word for it.

Avast is a close second, only because it lacks heuristics.

But you won't go wrong with any of the Three Big A's (Avira, Avast, AVG).
Just make sure you're NOT running 2 or more AV programs on your PC.

I used AVG in the past but I hated it. Now I use Cyberdefender. You can download the free scanner off of their website. The full version also have 24/7 technical support that is AMAZING! I would definitely recommend Cyberdefender.
