There are many reasons why a PC " behaves" this way.
These annoying " gliches" may be caused by an overloaded hard drive, overworked CPU, Malware, running 2 AV 's, unnecessary data, Browser addons or you may have unnecessary programs running in the background etc....
Troubleshooting steps for you to try -
* Go to search, type device manager and look for any yellow warning markers.
* Download SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes, run a full scan after you update.
* Run a full Antivirus scan.
*Type event viewer, in search (by start button) > Windows Logs > Application & System.
Look for RED critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the problem.
Note the event ID, and the source codes and Google search them.
* Make sure that you are not over heating.
* Make sure PSU is working properly.
* If overclocking, restore to original.
* Try in safe mode; report back if it works properly.

Historically in Windows the vast majority of screen freezes have been related to graphics driver issues - although win7 and it's driver pool is far better than previous versions it may be worthwhile checking you have the latest drivers for your card/chip.
Another major cause of "freezing" is, Ironically, overheating, you may want to check on your temps inside the case

As long as you only use the "extra" ant-virus application in stand-alone mode, it is a very good idea to check a system with more than one application.
The problems only really start if you try to run two applications in active or resident mode.
I run intermittent scans with both Superantispyware and malwarebytes in addition to my main resident AV [Avast]

To protect yourself from the evils of the internet your basic protection should include
*Anti Virus Program [ MSE is popular & is used by many people here]
*Anti Malware Program
*Firewall
*Router / firewall
It is important you update programs & scan regularly.
FYI...
Layered Computer Security – What Is It? Why Use It? | Bill Mullins' Weblog – Tech ThoughtsAntimalware – A front line antimalware application is absolutely critical to avoid system infection. Your primary application should be supplemented by an on-demand scanner (part of the stacking approach).
There is no harm in downloading more than one antimalware application to be used as a secondary scanner. In fact, doing so can be advantageous. However, be sure NOT to allow more than one application to autostart, in order to prevent conflicts. For a list and download links to recommended free antimalware applications, including secondary scanners, see “Tech Thoughts Top 8 Free Antimalware Applications”, on this site.
Antivirus – An antivirus application is another critical component in a layered defense strategy to ensure that if a malicious program is detected, it will be stopped dead in its tracks!
