Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate - mouse or explorer.exe hands up system completely

(1/5) > >>

FreeCat:
Hi - You guys helped me some time ago with W7 crashing on this machine.  Thanks for that.

Now, the machine has not had that problem but recently the mouse (or maybe it is explorer.exe) freezes the system.
What I mean is that the mouse and keyboard become unresponsive and whatever programs are funning just stop processing.

I installed a new Logitch driver and Setpoint thingie, but they have not helped the situation.

Sometimes, I notice it when I I grab  window to move it to another part of the screen.

Or, sometimes when I select some text in a window to copy it.

It drives me nuts as I loose work that I need., plus wastes time, etc.

I reboot and then is it good for a day sometimes several days, but I have no idea what is causing it.

My W7 is up tto date with updates.  Thanks in advance for any ehlp.

Malwarebytes Premium? https://borncity.com/win/2019/01/08/windows-7-malwarebytes-is-causing-sporadic-freezes/

I think the latest update, 3.6.1.2711-1.0.519-1.0.8728, fixes it.

Hi Satrow - unfortunately, the latest Malwarebytes release doesn't fix this issue, see post # 3 in this thread https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/236862-announcing-malwarebytes-for-windows-361/

I've got Windows 7 and am a Malwarebytes Premium user and haven't had any problems yet,  but Malwarebytes don't yet have a solution for the significant number of Windows 7 users who have reported freezes. I know they're devoting a lot of resources to the problem and I'm sure they'll crack it soon.

Boggin:
I wasn't aware of this problem with MBAM and Win 7 if that is also the cause in this case, but I only use the free version and have its service set to manual so that it isn't running in the background.

Thanks, satrow, Still_Game and Boggin.  Happy to know it is not only my W7 that has this problem.
I use Avast Anti-Virus (paid version).  Can I use Malwarebytes (preium) also or should I just switch to MalwareBytes (premium)?
The cost is no important, I just want the best anti-virus.  The cost is nothing compared to the waste of time and annoyance of problems.
Who keeps upwith problems best?

I have WiseCare, Kerrish Doctor and Unhack-me and Advanced System Care 12.1.0.210 along with the Avast Anti-malware.

Are these things doing me any good or just causing problems?
