AVG Resident Shield Service High Disk Usage

Solution
No, it isn't normal. Could you download and install Sysinternals, use its 'Process Explorer', and paste a screenshot of what's running? Could you also download HijackThis and share what it reports? Doing so would be quite helpful to me/us in diagnosing the problem.
