What does the term 'resident' mean in the following contexts?

"My resident Anti-virus is AVG Free." and "My resident anti-spyware
is WinPatrol."

You are stating that is what is installed on the computer.
WinPatrol and AVG Free reside (are installed) on your computer.

Resident = "residing on your hard drive" = installed

Sometime back in the days of DOS there were programs that were referred to
as TSR's. That stood for "terminate stay resident". That meant that the
program would run some code which would terminate, but that it would leave
part of the program resident in memory. If I remember correctly, "Sidekick"
was an example of a TSR. The part of the program that was resident could be
called up with a hotkey combination, such as Alt M for the main menu, Atl N
for the notepad, Alt C for the calculator, etc.

Regarding anti-virus and anti-spyware programs, it could mean that part of
the program actually stays resident in memory so it can monitor the files
that are being accessed on your computer for viruses and spyware.
