There are a lot of issues that will make your PC Freeze, could be in the register, memory, hardware, software, you get the point. I haven’t tried those maintenance utilities before. Try the ones I use, Advance System Care Pro and Security 360 from IObit. www.Iobit.com they offer free versions which are not cut down versions of the paid version they just are not set up to do the auto stuff in the background.

before you install anything else that has the word antivirus in it, disable/uninstall the current ones.

Advance System Care Pro is NOT an antivirus program it is a Windows and PC maintenance utility program. Security 360 also is NOT an antivirus program it is a spyware and adware remover security program. For a great antivirus program I use ESET NOD32.
