I have notified our Malware Expert.
Due to Time Zone differences, he may not respond now until tomorrow. ;) :)

AVG is probably detecting Norton which is also running on your system

Uninstall Norton from the control panel and then run the Norton removal tool   https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&pvid=f-home&version=1&lg=en&ct=us
