    I installed this application and ran the scan as instructed. After the scan was complete I was prompted to hit OK and then hit the Show Results button. As soon as I hit OK the program closed and I was not able to hit Show Results. I tried it twice with the same result. After the second attempt my PC spontaniously restarted. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
