Hello,

Over the past two weeks I have had two complete shut-downs of my computer
when browsing with IE6 using XP Pro with all updates. It is a whole
system
off without going through the shut down routine.

The system seems fine when I boot-up again.

I am running real time CA antivirus. And, I frequently run Spybot,
Adaware,
and Super Spyware Antispyware Repair.

Does anyone know what might be happening?

Thanks,

Bob

I'd used CA AV since it was a freebie years ago; suddenly (in the ver. 8
iteration?) it was bringing my XP Home box down, when I'd fire up a
couple of different programs. My puter was fairly new, and I really
thought I had a hardware failure, since it's pretty hard to zap the
whole OS. But it was the CA AV.
It would also terminate Pegasus mail if I had it activated for the
emailer.

I'd look there first. Really.

Thanks a lot. I will check it out. I like CA because it has a small
footprint. What AV did you change to?
