Avast is my primary AV protection with AVG as a backup.
However, Task Manager indicates that AVG is running simultaneously with Avast. How do I suppress AVG to not run in the background without having to uninstall it?
Discussion is locked
open the Control Center, double click the Resident Shield and remove the checkmarks next to the option labeled Enable Resident Shield... . Don't forget to re-activate it when you are done.

I'm not Donna or Marianna, but maybe this is the info that you need.
To Disable AVG's Resident:
Open the AVG Control Center.
Double-click on the Resident Shield.
Go to the Properties Tab and remove the checkmark next to ''Turn on AVG Resident Shield protection.''
Close the Control Center.
Some processes of AVG antivirus will run in the background even though the Resident Shield and Email Protection have been disabled. It is because AVG, like some other programs is running some services as Automatic:
AVG7 Alert Manager Server
AVG7 Update Service
I would try to disable the Update task and alerts using AVG program's control center. Reboot and check whether any of it's processes will still run. If so, you might want to try to change the above services to use "Manual" instead of Automatic.
Also, if you don't want the AVG Control Center to run in startup, you need to uncheck the box before avgcc.
