AVG will not prevent them from being deleted at the server with a mail rule.
I don't know where you ever got that idea.
They are coming to you, without your name showing, because you are listed in the BCC heading.
Change your mail rule to delete them from the server.
But chances are you will just have to wait until the spammer gives up before they will stop.
And contact your ISP about them increasing the level of their spam filter.
