Why would your computer turn off in the middle of a virus scan?
Chrisabrad
It is possible that you have a "smart" virus on your system that detects the virus scan and turns of the computer in order stay. If this is the case the virus could possibly be removed with a less well known anti virus program as the virus might not detect it. A specialist might also be able to remove it manually. Also an date to your virus scanner might solve the problem in the future.
However, it is also possible that the problem isn't actually related to the virus scan. Microsoft Windows sometimes restarts automatically after installing updates. The computers hardware might also be damaged. If the CPU's cooling system fails the CPU overheats and automatically turns off, because it would otherwise be damaged.
