Computer crashes during scan

[Jake1]

I haven't used Spybot for a few weeks as I've been away, but when I started doing a cleanup last night, I ...

a) updated and ran Adaware.

b) ran Windows Defender.

c) checkedfor Spybot updates (no updates), then started running the Search/Destroy.

About a third way into the search (nothing found up to this stage), the computer shut down. I restarted and ran the program again - same again. This morning I tried again twice and same result.

Help, please!

Hi

Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe)
* Once installed open HijackThis by clicking Start > Programs > HijackThis and click the button labeled
Do a system scan only

* Click the scan button in the lower left hand corner of the interface and HijackThis will quickly scan your system.
* Once the scan is complete the scan button will now read save log. Click this button to save the log file to your PC. Once you select where you would like to save the file it will open in your systems default text editor. Typically this application is Notepad. Post the log here.
