Internet freezing my computer

Hi everyone, A little history. My computer starting to freeze up with in the past two weeks, where I have to manually force shut down. I can't even use explore or firefox or any of my Microsoft apps including my Anti virus. Right now,  I am in safe mode and ran my kaspersky anti virus and did not picking anything up. I used my disk cleanup and took out all the temp files that was up to 1 GB (in Safemode), and I saw more files that I have never seen before.  I am trying to go to internet explore to reset it back to defalt setting o.k. but I don't know how to do that. Right now, I am in my HP support assistant to tune up my computer, but it is just running on "Set Restore Point" I am not a computer geek, so if you are going to give me advise, please explain it like you would as a to a 10 year old (but a 10 year old are more computer savy these days).  And any other advise you can give me will be much appreciated.

Re: Internet freezing my computer

I tried that, and it did not work, because there was nothing to restore it too. I am wondering if I have a virus. when I am in safe mode, explore works great as does firefox. the rest of the programs work fine too including my anti virus which is karsparsky. but with I do a virus scan in safe mode no viruses come up. any thoughts? I am just tried of having my explore and firefox white out on me including everything else on my computer.
