I couldn't help myself - I had to go look.
Everything I read about AVG was very positive, and the articles all said AVG and Avast worked much the same way. Here's a quote from one article about AVG which makes me feel much better.
The Resident Shield component gives your computer continuous protection. It scans every single file that is being opened, saved, or copied, and guards the system areas of the computer. When Resident Shield discovers a virus in a file that is accessed, it stops the operation currently being performed and does not allow the virus to activate itself. Normally, you do not even notice the process, as it runs “in the background”, and you only get notified when threats are found; at the same time,Resident Shield blocks activation of the threat and removes it. Resident Shield is being loaded in the memory of your computer during system startup.
