Get hold of one of the boot management tools that are available - this will allow you to select which process gets loaded in what order - I am sure one of the lads will know! Sorry - having an seriously blank moment about the things!

I would go in start run Msconfig start up and disable everything you dont want starting up
Leave your AV and firewall
see if that helps

I still think an mbam scan should be done to see if there is any malware that AVG has missed.

Mbam is MalwareByte's AntiMalware. I have tested it alongside AVG 8 on a few pc's and have had it find things that AVG couldn't identify and fix.

If the pc doesn't come up with any errors then you don't really need to, if you do get any errors then a restore is a good idea.
I personally make a backup of my registry via regedit before altering it in any way.
