First as 968rz said turn off system restore-
Goto > Start > Settings >Control Panel > Double click the "System" Icon
When that window opens click on the System Restore tab, click on "Turn off system restore on all drives" click ok and yes to confirm.

Reboot PC, as PC is rebooting (before the XP screen loads) hit the F8 key to bring up boot options, select "Safe Mode" (this may take a couple of attempts)

Once PC is up and running in Safe Mode launch your AVG program or open My Computer and right click your local drive and select the option that starts a scan.

After it is done reboot normally, go back and turn System Restore back on. You can run another AVG scan to see if it worked.
