    cleaning cookies won't stop freezes.

    try the following:

    1. run chkdsk:

    start>computer>right click C:>properties>tools tab>error-checking>check now>tick both boxes>start>reboot.

    chkdsk will run on re-boot - let it

    2. now run Ccleaner:

    3. now do a defrag.

    If it freezes now come back & let us know.

    Cookies don't affect this, but CCleaner (free) will remove cookies and browsing data.
