AVG when kept up-to-date will catch viruses but you will also need a spyware scanner to find and remove the spyware. Viruses and spyware are two different things.
A good free spyware scanner is Spybot Search & Destroy. Another free spyware scanner is Ad-aware.

Avira AntiVir PE Classic. It has the best detection rates of the free products and is very low on system resources.

AOL Active virus shield is the best freeware antivirus software. But you need to register. (For free).Then they would send you the activation code. Its free and best . But the activation code might take some time to arrive.
