Happy to support you!

Actually it is difficult to give a specific reason, but most probably, AVG might be dealing with a malware that does not allow the process of scanning to be terminated.

So, as an initial step to solve the issue, it is better to try a windows disk clean up & de-fragmentation, in order to remove bad sectors & update windows. Also switching to the “safe mode”  would probably provide a solution to the issue.

If all these attempts prove to be useless, it can be recommended to reboot the computer into safe mode and uninstall AVG, where another virus guard or the same should be re-installed soon.
