For some reason, when I run a computer scan using the Ad-aware anti-spyware programme, after a few seconds of scanning a window appears saying that my computer will shut down in 1 minute. If I try to delete the files that the scan has found before the computer shuts down, then my internet wont work after the computer has started up again. Why is it happening?
