If you re-read the post you'll see that Tarq correctly stated that AVG has heuristic-based scanning that will catch stuff that's not in the virus definitions database. According to AVG this is achieved via emulation of any instructions in a virtual computer (i.e. "sandbox").
Now I have no idea how effective it is. But what is clear is that you haven't bothered to read the documentation for AVG or any of the independent reports on the effectiveness of various AV programs.
