Freeze-ups

[codyw]

I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 on my PC and I see it freeze up more often then it ever has. Is the new KIS known to do this?

Cody,

There are many reasons why a PC " behaves" this way.

These annoying " gliches" may be caused by
Malware,
running 2 AV 's,
unnecessary data,
Browser add ons or you may have unnecessary programs running in the background etc....
