I think it is AVG - but could be Spybot. The both run once a day and after

You've got the "shut down computer after scan" tickbox ticked??


If I've had mine on for a long time and it's getting short of memory
it will sponaneously restart itself but not getting past POSTing is

supports it)

It's not an old Asus board from 1976 is it? ;-)
