Program crashes then reboots 'puter

[VAMPYBITES]

Hey all,
I been running SS&D for years,but for some reason it's not working to well.
Here's what's happening.
I'll run the program,and when it's about 1/4 done it shuts down and the 'puter reboots it's self! :scratch:
I've deleted the program through the control panel,ran my "Registry Cleaner",deleted the folder,rebooted. :cleaning:
I then re-installed SS&D,and the samething happens. :hair:
VER. 1.6.2

Thank you. :thanks:

Hello,

Spybot - Search & Destroy is quite CPU intensive. It is possible that the CPU overheating and the system is shutting down to protect the processor. Make sure that the fans are running and that dust is cleared from any ventilation ports in the case.

The problem can happen in both desktops and laptops, although the problem is more prevalent in laptops.

If you have a laptop with one of the one of the following processors:

- Mobile Pentium III-M
- Mobile Pentium 4-M
- Mobile Pentium 4
- Mobile Pentium M / Centrino
- Mobile AMD

Take a look at following suggestion by 100mill:
Notebook CPU running hot during Spybot - Search & Destroy scan

If you have a desktop consider opening the case and checking to make sure the CPU heat sink is not too dusty. Doubt that this can be a problem, read the following threads:
