Avast 7 shuts down my PC unexpectedly

Desktop PC with Windows XP Pro. sp3 32b
and Malwarebytes free version
and Returnil System Safe 2012 free version (only virtualization in use, antirivus disabled)
Avast free version 7

Problem
1.Computer shuts down and starts unexpectedly.
2.Computer starts automatically when I shut it down.

How to solve this problem, PLEASE?

Thanks.
Vicky

I think you’ll have to remove Returnil, even with the AV part disabled there may still be low level drivers causing conflict, a safe program to run with Avast is Malwarebytes free or Pro.

Mr. Craigb

Thank you very much!

Will you please recommend a free virtualization software that can compatibly run with Avast free 7?

Thank you!
Vicky
