Every once in a while my MacBook Pro freezes up and I get a sudden flood of messages telling me several processes want to use the login keychain, all at once. There's no way to stop it, I have to shut down when it happens. I've scanned my device for viruses (I use BitDefender) and it says I'm clean, but who knows for sure.
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you very much!

I will add—
typically third party Anti-Virus does nothing but add issues and compete directly with Apple’s® own built in Security:
