AVG's free edition does not have Rootkit protection, but it does have real-time protection.
AVG AntiVirus and AVG Internet Security both have Rootkit protection and real-time protection.
I would download an anti-virus with anti-Rootkit and uninstall AVG. Microsoft Security Essentials and Avira are both good free anti-viruses with anti-Rootkit. KASPERSKY is a good one, but it's not free.
Oh, I forgot, if you do get a Rootkit, it's best to reformat your OS, for Rootkits usually will not be fully removed by an anti-virus.
I did not say that it was necessary, but some anti-virus software will not remove one 100%

All version of AVG provide real-time protection.
Only the paid version of AVG has anti-rootkit.
