Unless something has changed, AVG doesn't do real-time scanning. The only way it finds a virus is if you manually scan a file. This is why I switched to AntiVir (freeav.com), which is also free, but has a real-time scanner. The only annoyance is that is displays a popup add every time it gets new definitions.
