Hi, everytime I start to the smart system scan my computer restarts automatically a couple seconds into it. I don't know why its doing it and was hoping someone could help me. Hopefully I am addressing this in the right area.

Thank you.

Hello,

So does mine. I just downloaded and reinstalled Ad-Aware SE personal edition (free) and tried it again.

Same result.

The scan reports two critical objects before it shuts down with a genuine blue-screen fatal error.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

See if following this instruction helps :

Ad-Aware SE terminates or PC reboots during scan

Thank you. I'll give a try.

I had the same problem it was re-booting or freezing, I ran AA personal in Safe-Mode and all was taken care of.

Yes, it did the trick. Took all the tricks in the post, but it worked. Scanning in safe mode did not help, by the way.

Thanks to Calamity Jane, thanks to the oriignal poster. thanks to Lavasoft.

Heck, I'd almost thank Microsoft, but I'm not that euphoric. Yet.

Glad to hear that worked

Ad Astra came up with that solution - you can thank him
