None of the security programs you are using have a particularly large memory footprint. I suspect your resources are being consumed by other programs on the machine.



The easiest way to increase performance without adding additional RAM, is to disable unnecessary services and startup entries. You can manually do this using msconfig, but a better way to do it using Autoruns from Sysinternals (free);

Download, and run this tool. The switch over to the Logon Tab;



It is safe to disable anything non-microsoft, leave your AVG.



This will not remove the entries listed here, it will only prevent them from automatically launching when Windows boots, freeing RAM.



All those programs will still start when launched, although it may take an additional couple of seconds, as they are not already loaded into memory.
