I would say it isn't normal.

But having nothing to work with we can't say, e.g. what AV did you have installed before and was it uninstalled followed by a reboot before installing avast ?

Where during the install did it freeze ?
What other security software do you have installed ?

If you update your Profile, signature we wouldn't have to ask some of these questions.

I'm using avira before, since is expired I decide to come back with avast. uninstall aviria-clean all the registries reboot, then install avast.

during installing avast after command allowed the screen freeze like more than 5 mins

I have Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware on demand scans, superspyware pro disable & avast

Well that looks like it should have been OK, perhaps just a hiccup, if things are now running as they should.

If you check my signature you will see I also have SAS Pro and MBAM free and there is no need to disable the resident protection of SAS Pro with avast.

Yes just one as resident anti-spyware/malware the other on-demand.

I have MBAM Pro on one system and SAS Pro on this one with MBAM free.
