Please close the other application e.g. 'Update Manager','aptitude' or 'Synaptic' first.

That's probably just showing your processes, if synaptic is open, it will not be running under your account - in fact, notice that "gksu" is listed in your list, so I'd bet that's what it is. Just see if synaptic is open, and close it, and try the AVG installer again. If you can't find it and want to kill it manually, go to the System Monitor, go to the View menu and choose "All processes". You should see synaptic listed now, and you can end the process.
