Iya guy's, I'm having a problem while trying to run Ad-Aware SE Personal. While scanning i get a small box appear saying that Services.exe has encounted an error and the computer needs to be restarted, so a small timer counts down and my comp shuts down. Does anyone know whats happening? Thank's in advance :) Nect

Sounds like maybe a trojan or piece of spyware has installed itself as a service. If you can go into the control panel and post a list of your running services Maybe one of us can identify the problem? Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services... FREE PC UPGRADES!!!
