Antivirus like Avast, Panda, Comodo have this inbuilt feature in them.

There are programs that can only be opened once, or if you have hung prevent re-open as normal. An example is Firefox, you can not open another browser window if the main is blocked and lost somewhere in memory.

Most common solution to this problem is use of Task Manager. Use the End task operation in Task Manager for the programs which are not responding and most important is being patience.

  Access To Same Resource

Some programs may conflict with others already in progress. The most common cause is access to a system resource already in use as a webcam or a reserved memory space. The virus, for example, rarely can coexist because they tend to sit on the same seat of memory.

A Virus Has Infected The Program

An event that can never be ruled out in case of unexpected crashes, blue screens, crashes and errors when opening programs is the viral infection. The rugged design of many viruses usually affect the system in unpredictable ways, and programs can not function normally. Its major solution is use of good antivirus.
