A few things to try:

A freezing Laptop or computer can be a number of things, heat is the number 1 issue in laptops. Hard drive issues can also cause freezing issues, as well as ram and other things.

On a Win7 computer I'd start with booting to the Advanced Options menu by restarting the computer hold the F8 key down during restart. Wait for the menu to load. Select the Repair Your Computer option from the list, then hit enter.

The next thing I would try is running System File Checker from an elevated command prompt. To do that:

Click > Start, in the search box type in cmd right click on it and run as administrator. When the black command window is open on the desktop copy this sfc /scannow now paste it into the black window hit enter and let it run.

Nothing wrong with MSE, its fine. That remark by some Microsoft employee saying use some other a-v was dealt with and powers to be sort of reminded MS customers MSE and their other security programs were great and getting more aggressive with the adware/malware too in coming months. If you really want to try a new AV you might want to look at www.360Safe.com freeware that works.. Adblock in IE usually is a addon... click your gear, then 'manage add ons' and you should see it there in tracking protecting. Windows 7 & 8 have Trouble shooting in Control Panel... one of the items is IE and another you might look at is Networking. This post was edited by mikie on Fri, May 30, 14 at 5:28

The attraction of IE alternatives, especially 5 years ago and more, stemmed more from how clunky IE was rather than the superiority of the others. Firefox/Netscape/Opera were ok and worked fine, IE was awful. The decision for what best to use was easy, though much of Corporate America stuck to IE for employees' internal use. Today, I think IE has done a lot of catching up. I find it pretty decent and comparable to the others though I don't use it as my default browser. OP, there are a half dozen or more solid browsers to choose from, all have there own peculiarities, problems and features and all are free. There's no need to persist with something that isn't working for you.

I finally figured it out. If others have this problem, got to Control Panel > Programs and Features > For Win7 in left hand panel click "view installed updates > scroll down to Microsoft Windows, then find whatever it is you want to install. If the install was very recent, it is easier to change the view by clicking on Installed On tab, then all will be arranged by the date it was installed, bringing the recently installed to the top. Then just hit uninstall.

When installing Norton as a Comcast customer, the download is from Norton. I was a Norton Customer before becoming a Comcast customer and other than a bit of brand signage, the Norton Suite doesn't appear to have different versions. There's no need for any third party uninstaller program - if you look on your program menu under Norton Security Suite, one of the choices is Norton Uninstall. I can tell you from my own experience that that utility works very comprehensively. I once had a corrupted file that required an uninstall - reinstall that wasn't working for me, and Norton Tech Support used that tool on a remote connection. OP, I'm glad everything is working for you again.
