Can't run any programs after my laptop boots...

I know that I have a virus on there but I can't run the anti virus program. So I downloaded avg's boot recovery disc. When I run it the program only completes about 1/4 of the scan and then the comp shuts down.

Any way to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Worst case scenario back your files and look for a new hard drive. Other than that z83 has got the right idea.

Have you run the scan more than once and found that it errors at the same part? Have you tried running chkdsk? Maybe a bad sector on your HD or maybe Im paranoid.

i probably can help , do you need to save the data on your machine ?

System Restore didn't work...After windows fires up it stops working soon after

I'm not sure where the avg scan stops exactly. When I run it I don't have the patience to stare at the screen for seven to fifteen minutes. When I return the computer is shut down.
