What are you complete PC Specs? Some things that would help us help you are RAM (Memory) and CPU (Processor).
AVG can be a bit of a hog...Antivir personal edition has a nice, small footprint and works well for me. Also, try the usual places - run -> services.msc and stop and disable any unneeded services. A quick boost can be gotten by going to the system properties screen -> advanced ->performance settings and choosing "adjust for best performance." That'll turn off themes and visual effects and is pretty much a necessity on machines with less than 256MB. Also check task manager and see what apps are eating up your CPU cycles and memory
