Fuck it could be the fan... my laptop is rather hot.... is it cooler to place it on top of bed matress or bed duvet covers? (They are my 2 options).
yeah.... AVG is one of the worst...

Also, NEVER have your laptop on your bed, nor anything malleable. It needs air to circulate in order to cool it.
Overheating is also a common source of blue screens... and... damaged components.
Take care.
On win7, I have gadgets enabled so I can use the All CPU meter. Combined with Core Temp, you can get the cpu temperature in real time and its temporal evolution.
