Maybe check for latent disk/file system problems?
1) run check disk with the full surface scan option

Is that /R? I did that and it took over two hours. Does it produce a report of 
any kind?

2) run a utility that will give you the disk drive's SMART data
   and/or run a SMART self-test.  The disk drive manufacturer
   might have a tool for that, or others here can suggest another.

WDC j=has Lifeguard s/w for that.

3) bring up the windows task manager (ctl-alt-del) and watch
   the performance tab while you run AVG manually (during the day).

I was hoping to avoid sitting in front of my computer for hours and hours, and 
given my short attention span I might miss something.

I guess you don;t know of any program that does what I want?

Thanks.
