This is actually a caching service for AVG.  On some installs, such as slightly older laptops, the disk overhead is simply too much - it keeps the disk spinning constantly.

To disable this, open up the GUI for AVG and go to Tools->Advanced Settings, Select Cache Server, uncheck enabled adding new files to cache and uncheck caching enabled.  Click OK.  Finally reboot the machine.
