Out of the blue I keep getting a 'fatal error in virtual machine monitor' and the VM crashes. All I did a few days ago was install AVG8.

AVG free 8 is OK so far which version are you using? with all sorts of bells and whistles? I use a simple freebie firewall not a package Hugh W
I use AVG 8 on 4 iMacs with Parallels without a problem. For some reason my MBA is crashing in parallels all of the time. It is virtually unusable. Used to be OK. I have re-installed Parallels but it still does it. I actually don't think AVG is the problem.
