    Unhappy spybot shuts down in the middle of a scan

    Hi all:

    I have been using spybot search and destroy with no problems until about 2 months ago when my computer started to shut down when I tried to run it. I have tried updating all the downloads, but I can't get a full scan done.

    I have a notification on my computer that I do not have genuine xp, and wonder if this is the reason.

    Anybody have any ideas as to what I can do.

    Thanks for your help.

    Is Windows giving that notification?

    One can check for validation, have you tried to do so?

    The problem could be heat related. Please read this post.
