What I have googled out:

aAvgApi.exe

AVG Security Toolbar Helper. Program which will appear on the Tasks tab of TUT if you have Internet Explorer open and you use the Internet Explorer AVG Security Toolbar which protects the user against fly-by infection and phishing, and which also provides security ratings on the websites you visit and on searches you make through Yahoo. The AVG Security Toolbar is installed either AVG AntiVirus or AVG Internet Security.

AAvgApi.exe Recommendation :
Down to end-user preference (as to whether you want to use the AVG Security Toolbar or not).

If you experience problems with this task, simply turn off the AVG Security Toolbar by right-clicking in a blank space on any toolbar and unchecking AVGTOOLBAR. Then, close Internet Explorer and re-open it and this task will not appear again in your Task List. This task normally uses between 2Mb and 8Mb of memory.

I have used Avast antivirus for years before I switched to MAC without any problems with eating up CPU power. Maybe you can try it.
