Hi gogo,

Can you please provide more information?
When you say you try to update, do you mean your are trying to perform a Smart Update? or trying to install a newer version?

What OS are you running?
When does the computer freeze? while trying to Smart update?
Are you running any other security programs?

Uninstall/re-install PCTAV from http://www.pctools.com/free-antivirus/. When you have uninstalled PCTAV go to c:\Program Files\PC Tools AntiVirus and delete this folder before re-installing. Try Smart Updating again.

By OS = Operating System, ie, Windows XP, Vista, 98 etc...

To check what is running, you can go to the system tray at the bottom right hand corner of the screen Or task manager.
