After that is working, you can always run setup.exe again to pick up the extra
modules needed.

It's unlikely to be the downloading, but possibly could be something triggered
by the post-install scripts. Cygwin is entirely user-space; there are no device
drivers or other kernel-level parts to it. User-space code can't crash the
system. But there is specific software known to interact badly with Cygwin; we
call it BLODA.
As the FAQ page <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda> says,
merely disabling BLODA is often not enough. You have to uninstall it. Read
that page for reasons why. Maybe uninstalling AVG completely will help.
Good luck,
