After putting up with my roaring PC all day, last night I went to AVG to run a smart scan and incredibly the PC got quiet.  What does that tell you?

Please ensure that the AVG program has the latest patches applied to it.
Open AVG program - click on refresh icon beside virus definitions, at bottom left corner - Restart computer after successful update & check.
Let us know if it helped.

Thank you for the response.
I believe you have restarted your PC, if not please restart your PC.
Afer the restart check for the most utilized background apps.
If you still find AVG running in background do let us know.
