Hi and welcome to TSG.
What system are you using..Anti-virus and Spyware programs installed?
When does this happen?

Hi best to only use one Anti-virus program as they will fight as they try and scan the same files.
Choose one uninstall the other.
Avg uses less resources.
D/load some Spyware programs.
Ad-Aware.
