VC++ hangs and freezes computer upon completion of compilation

When the compiling of a project is complete (or at least when it says it does), I receive no window, no error message, or anything; VC++ freezes up and my computer basically stops responding altogether.

After about five minutes, Task Manager finally pops up and I'm able to close the program. Upon doing that, I see this:

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say something is wrong with the image above. On a side note, the process' (MSBuild.exe) don't (seem) to open all at once, but that may only seem that way because the computer becomes frozen multiple times until I shutdown vc++.

Is this a known issue and if so what should I do so I can compile programs without this issue once again?

As suggested by Hans Passant, disabling avast! solved the problem.

Did any error pop up during installation?

The standard thing to do (that almost always helps) is rebooting, reinstalling, (rebooting,) and trying again. Chances are absolutely nobody knows what's going wrong (even MS).
