I have got a new laptop and with it came 3 years AVG internet security. The problem i have got that nearly every time i go on the laptop about 5 mins into working i get AVG telling me to reboot which is getting quite annoying it does not apper to have made any updates. I thought that when I closed down it would do the reboot then but it does not appear to do so.

I think it would be best to remove AVG - although you have 3 years of it, it's not very good at doing its job. I suggest installing a free alternative like avira and malwarebytes which will be better.
http://www.avira.com/en/download/index.php
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Download these two programmes onto your desktop first.
Then uninstall AVG from your control panel.
Run the AVG remover to remove bits left behind:

Then install avira and malwarebytes. Update definitions and run scans.0
