My computer shut down

[vialj]

When I start spybot scanning my computer shut down (after cca. 50% of scanning)
Do you know what is wrong?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,

If you have Spybot - Search & Destroy version 1.3 please upgrade to the newer version 1.4.
If you do already have Spybot S&D 1.4 this is a rare situation that hasn't been explained yet.
But you can do the following to get the scan to work, but you'll have to do it each time you use the program.

- Open Spybot-S&D, then leave it alone
- Open Task Manager, and go to the Processes tab
- Right-click on SpybotSD.exe, and choose "Set Affinity..."
- On the box that comes up, check/uncheck boxes so that ONLY "CPU 0" is checked.
- Go back to the already-open Spybot-S&D, and run a scan. It should complete without hanging or losing responsiveness.

This can also be done like this:
Please run Spybot-S&D and switch to "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode".
Now select "Settings" -->"Settings" from the navigation bar on the left.
Under "Main Settings" you will find the point "Scan priority".
There you should choose "Lower" by ticking the checkbox.

Best regards

Spybot is quite CPU intensive. It is possible that the CPU overheating and the system is shutting down to protect the processor.
