When ever I do a registry scan, registry search or virus scan, it causes computer to shutdown after about 5 seconds. Anyone know what's causing this ?

(Windows XP pro, SP3)

to be honest this is the first time i've heard of something like that

i dunno but i recommend that you do a repairing for the windows
who knows maybe some files are corrupted or missing :)

This possible that your memory is leaking. Uninstal your registry cleaner and your antivirus engine. Reboot and instal them again!

1. can be a virus like people said above.
2. probly the program is incompatible with the version of windows you are runnng.
3. you maye do not have the system requirments of this program.

Hope you fixed this problem.
