I've used AVG for several years on a WME system. I've seen symptoms similar to what you report several times on the reboot following the installation of new software. I've also seen freezes during the shutdown. I think these are Microsoft bugs, possibly made more likely by file system corruption. The only AVG bug I recall is AVG sometimes misses a scheduled operation. I do a check for updates and full system scan each night. That is 730 jobs per year. I think about 3-6 are missed.
