Are you sure you installed AVG Antivirus or was it AVG antispyware?

That is what you should see normally but if not...

click start button on the bottom-left of the screen,  hover over where it says "All Programs". A menu should slide to the right, and if you're up-to-date then just hover over where it says AVG 7.5. A smaller menu should appear then you just click on "AVG Control Center."

This should get it working if the AVG is properly installed and it's just a matter of the AVG not being started.
