    Having investigated further, I have found the "legitimate" solution.

    Open the AVG user interface.

    <Tools>
    <Advanced Settings>
    <Link Scanner>

    Just uncheck all the boxes.

    <Apply>

    If you go along this route, the AVG icon in the system tray will always show an error/alert condition, so you will need to check that this is not because you are unprotected for some reason.

    EDIT: The product recommended by C:\Saw looks good. As he says it isn't an AV but looks to be a good complement to one. In particular it will run on anything from Windows 3.11 upwards, so it must be light on resource.
