Argh. I hit post before I was done. Anyway, you can hit "suspend" or something on AVG and do you disk scan right after you restart, and see if it complains. Firefox is notorious for making Windows think that it's doing disk access when it's not. Itunes is a little better behaved, most of the time.
I ran into similar problems with Firefox. I went into the addons menu, and disabled _everything_, and then went back and re-enabled them in groups until I found the culprit. An old trick is to re-enable half the things, and if the problem doesn't come back, you've just saved yourself testing half the addons. If it causes the problem, you've still saved yourself testing half the addons. Then test half of the half remaining, wash-rinse-repeat, until you nail down which one (or two, or three) are causing the problem.
