Why would your computer turn off in the middle of a virus scan?
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.
What are the risks of opening or receiving email attachments besides receiving viruses?
Opening attachments from an unknown source can result in your PC being infected with viruses that will crash it or send out the virus to everyone in your address book. Better to never open attachments from sources you don't know, a good anti-virus program like NORTON is also a plus to have installed on your PC. A virus can result in lost documents.
IP Logging
A hacker or snoop may also log your IP address using an image or iframe or HTML mail or by persuading you to click on a link.
"Phishing"
Phishing is another risk, whereby a malicious hacker will trick you into logging into a site you use to steal your personal information such as your log in details, credit card numbers, pay-pal account details, eBay account, banking information or more.
Key-loggers
Key-loggers are a favorite tool among password thieves and credit card thieves, which is why you should never enter your credit card number directly into any site, but rather use the mouse to mix up the numbers... A keylogger logs your keystrokes and later a malicious hacker or information thief can read your keystrokes to uncover sites you visit, your login details and passwords.
How do you uninstall total security software?
Use a legitimate spyware remover, such as Spyware Doctor or Malwarebytes, to scan your system in safe mode.

How do you remove Dr Guard virus?
Dr. Guard is another fake anti-spyware targeted at gullible web users. A free downloadable trial version is placed in websites affiliated with this scare-ware. The moment you land on these websites, they'll announce that your PC is infected with spyware and once they've captured your attention, you'll be directed to the free downloadable trial version of Dr. Guard. Of course, this program is really a Trojan designed to scare you some more. But since it's free, most Web users will be tempted to click that 'download' button without thinking of the possible consequences.
Will upgrading windows remove virus?
NO. In the absence of anti-virus software that will remove a virus, upgrading will not do the job. Doing a clean install of the full Operating System (OS) after formatting your hard drive is the only solution.
The key to a "clean install" is making sure that your method of formatting wiped the hard drive clean with zeros and ones.

There are other solutions actually. I have not resorted to a format to eliminate a virus in a long time. Use any of a number of commercial anti-virus programs to eliminate the virus then run the SFC /scannow command to repair the system files.
After everything is clean then you can uograde windows.
To get to SFC /scannow you will need to go to start/ run - then type in SFC /scannow. Remember to put a space between SFC and the forward slash.
What must you do regularly for the virus protection software to work efficiently?

If you assaulted someone and broke their jaw what possible charge could you be facing?
This will depend on one important thing. 1. Was it self defense? If it wasn't and it was during a fight you are probably going to face charges of substantial battery. If it was a bloody mouth, it may be simple battery, but you caused serious damage that required hospitalization. Substantial battery can be as high as a felony depending on the state you are in. It will definitely be at lease a misdemeanor charge.
