Ok. Clearly somethings amiss and Avira isnt right
Either its a bad install, somethings corrupted or you have soemthing nasty. Im going with infection due to the sheer amount of time scans are taking
First up ~
Use the 32 bit AVG removal tool (Simply uninstalling wont do)
http://www.avg.com/download-tools
Uninstall Avira
Reinstall avira (DONT scan with it just yet)
Download CCLEANER (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION' ~ make sure YAHOO TOOLBAR is unticked on installation). CCLEANER will clean up some of the mess before we continue

Run the CLEANER scan (UNTICK 'cookies')
Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)
reboot
Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)
Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW')
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
UPDATE and FULL SCAN
Post the log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds:idea:0
