Why does some software and programs cause my computer to freeze up?

My computer will freeze up when I try to install certain software programs. I havent figured out the pattern yet because certain OTHER programs will work just fine!? It will even freeze my computer when I try to install utility programs to run diagnostics on my computer and 3 different anti-virus programs come up zilch. Can SOMEBODY help me!? lol
