Excessive GPU Usage

I am just about ready to "File 13" AVG!  I am sick and tired of it using 100% of my CPU for A MINUTE TO A MINUTE AND A HALF AT THE MOST INOPPURTUNE TIMES! Is this a Common Problem with AVG?  HOW DO I REMEDY THIS PROBLEM?  It is driving me nuts and pissing Me off!!!
I'm running Win7 and Chrome.
