Browsers stop working after a while, except IE

[18]

Well, I'm having some technical issues. Here are the details:

All browsers except Internet Explorer - I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera - stop working after a while. Clicking on them doesn't do anything; the computer 'thinks' for a second and then nothing. Reinstalling them by redownloading them from IE fixes it for a short while, but it's frustrating to do it every day.

I've tried resetting the browsers to their defaults settings, clearing the DNS thingamabob, but still... I'm afraid it'll happen again

Does anyone have suggestions about how to fix this? It's not crippling, but boy is it annoying

What's your os?

Windows 7.

I used Malwarebytes to remove Malware, so the problem is mostly solved. It stopped working again once today when I tried to open a PDF, but I managed to fix it quickly.

OK, you still have windows 7, witch most likely means its not a malware or fire fox. If the problem still persists I advise you upgrade to windows 10, the upgrade is free and my laptop was so slow due to windows 8 but the second I got windows 10 (because Microsoft cannot count to 9) the slowest laptop in the existence of ever sped up, so maybe upgrading will fix your issue for good. Even if you do t care about fixing it any more, still get windows 10, its free but the download may take like 1 hour, but it is worth it.
