What anti-virus do you have running? If you have Norton, I'd recommend uninstalling it and putting AVG free on:

Also, what do you mean by 'freeze my pc'? Can you be a bit more specific?

There's something definitely wrong then.
Do a full virus scan.
Also, press ctrl+alt+del and then click the processes tab. There should be a column title that says 'CPU'. Click it twice so that the highest numbers in that column are at the top, and then let us know if there are any really high numbers (above 20 or so), and if so, what are the program names associated with those numbers? (the names are to the left of the numbers, in that window).
