Can you tell us a little about your system, CPU, RAM, Video Card, desktop/laptop, etc.

What do you mean by "program just suddenly turns my pc off" does it reboot, or crash to a black screen or perhaps a BSOD (can you expand) ?

What type of scan, boot-time, on-demand (Simple User Interface) scan ?

Are the fans of the computer working? Isn't occurring overheat?

I am using desktop, AMD Athelon 64 3000 +  . Viedo card is good,  not over heating. I have noticed it only shuts down, dont crash, just relly turns pc off, dont reboot just turns off , only does this when screen saver does black.

If it shuts down it might be a PSU. Have you ever had any stability problems when stressing several components at a time? Maybe when playing demanding games or something similar?

Which screen saver do you use?
Is there any useful information into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Events, specially 'Errors'?

I'm an A+ certified technician...it sounds exactly like your power supply isnt getting enough juice to it...you might think about getting a new one ;) in any case...DO NOT open that power supply up..bad things WILL happen! replace it, do not try to fix it!
