My internet keeps freezing and I have to open task manager to exit?

Question

This has been going on for a few days. I did some research trying to fix it, but nothing worked. I tried deleting some stuff that was taking up space, and it fixed it, but only for that night. The next morning it was the same. Plus, my dad said I have a pretty big hard drive, so I don't think that's the issue. And I have Norton, so I don't think viruses would be the problem? What are some possible ways to fix this? I'm tired of having to restart my internet every other minute.
