Long ago for no reason, it decided to hate YouTube, well that got fixed somehow, but it was retarded anyway.
Forever now, it's hated other sites, but rather than going to a dumb page saying page can't do something, it just freezes my computer. And no, I'm not talking about porn sites, just some random sites that you wouldn't expect to have a problem, like Yahoo, I decided to look at my email account thingy for whatever reason, and whenever I tried to log in, FREEZE, to the point where the only solution is to manually turn off the computer, and no matter how many times I turned it back on and tried again, FREEZE.
Same with DeviantART, except different, it freezes randomly.
And now, it decides to hate my school, I go to a website where I buy stuff from my school, I log in, and it FREEZES. Just like Yahoo, no matter how many times I try, it freezes again!
And this is just my dumbass computer, I tried it in my gramma's computer, and everything went fine, hell, on Yahoo, I tried it on Internet Explorer and it worked fine, for some reason my FireFox on this computer hates certain websites.
HOW DO I FIX MY RETARDED COMPUTER?!
Reinstall FF or use a different browser like Chrome
I don't know what you did, but most of the time it's not the machine that's causing the problem. User error, my friend.

How do I reinstall? You have to remember that I'm almost as retarded as my computer.

I'm so sicking my dogs on you.
Control panel> Add/Remove Programs > uninstall FireFox
Go to their site, redownload it, install

Wow, if anything that made it worse, this time I didn't have to log in for it to freeze, I just had to hit the maximize button. -_-;
Sounds similar to what I had. your computer is new? Like does it have bad specs or not? Your Antivirus working okay?

A few years old, antivirus isn't protecting anymore, don't know how to make it again.
Oh yeah, this has been happening before the antivirus stopped working.
Thought about bringing your computer to a computer repair shop or something?

Okay, is windows update also malfunctioning?
Sounds like a virus.
Install malware protection.
Or go to your task manager and check your processes. If anything there looks like it doesn't belong there, delete it.

The kind he has is almost impossible to kill, it embeds itself into system processes like explorer & winlogon. All I could do was back up & reinstall. (well I upgraded, but still)
Again, this is if it is what I had, & it sounds almost exactly like it

Back up what's important, reformat, and start over.

It most likely blocks this, or you do get it & it doesn't find anything. I had to get malwarebytes from CNet.

This is your best bet. I know it sucks, but do it. And after you reinstall, download PeerBlock.
I did the Malware thingy and it scanned and found problems... what do I do now..?
I dunno how it works, as I never got to that stage in malware bytes. look for a delete or remove option I guess.
good luck

Kill/Get rid of/Delete/etc.
What else would you do. :U
You check them all, click the remove, it'll want to restart(do so), should all be good if that was the problem
I recently had to get rid of some adbock bypasser bullpoop
Well did the Malware or thing, it found 13 things, I clicked remove, after restart and less than a day later, I go back to the most recent website that made my computer freeze, and guess what? It froze...

Did you try Chrome or maybe even Opera, you said IE worked right?
Mmmmmmmmmmaybe later.
What browser are you even using?

I think he's using FF
If other browsers work fine than there is probably just something wrong with his FF, not his computer
Maybe try clearing your cookies and such
Why are you so intercourse ing retarded? You should basically know what to do by now, so I'll, instead, point how much of an idiot you are for even getting yourself into this situation.

You're a little late, I've known for about all my life that I'm an idiot.

Yes I am using FF.
And I recently cleared all my Cache and Cookies recently for a different reason.

Whoa there. How about instead of being a pseudo-intellectual and a pompous poop hole you help the guy out in any way you can? Attacking him doesn't do a intercourse ing thing.
@JrDude, back up what you can, and format your drives. Not much else you could do.
EDIT: On second thought, give me your computers specs. Start>Run>dxdiag. If it's your computers specs then you'll have to upgrade. If the computer is fine specs wise then try CCleaner, Spybot, and AVG Free Edition. All of which are programs I personally use and they work pretty well in terms of computer maintenance..
Explain that in an easier way for an idiot to understand. I mean it, I don't get what you're saying.

lol alright then. Go to your Start menu. Then click on "Run". In the Run bar, type in "dxdiag" without the quotes. That should prompt your computer to list the specs of the computer, in other words, its processor, graphics card, operating system, etc. Once you have those specs that are in the System and Display tab, just use your PrtSc key, which copies your desktop as an img file. Then paste it into paint, save, then upload it to tinypic or something and post it....or you could just copy and paste, whatever.
If your specs aren't horrendous then they aren't the problem and you'll have to try a few other things to get your computer up to snuff. If they are then you'll have to either A)Upgrade your computers parts or B)Buy a new computer.
And if all else fails you can back up your crap onto an external drive and just format the computer. It looks like that's the option you'll be taking so far, frankly.
You lost me at "Run"
I see no "Run"

This is going to be your warning. Either provide assistance, or cease posting in this thread.
Also, JrDude:
To get the Run menu up, hit the Windows button and "R" at the same time.
