Antivirus software is only as good as its definition files. Unfortunately, most fully functioned antivirus programs are system resource intensive. AVG is a good solution. You might want to consider doing a clean install, and/or upgrading a few parts like your memory.

the best I have found is Microsoft Security Essentials. It is pretty effective.
