Set AVG to scan new files in realtime, and just do a full scan every week or so. There's no need for any AV to do a full system scan every day unless you're constantly downloading and installing lots of programs from dubious sources.

If you're looking for a free alternative to AVG Free Antivirus, try Avira AntiVir.
