Hi,
Do you have a good virus checker running? I HAVE seen viruses that turn
off computers, as well as doing other nasty things. Run a manual scan.

In any event, there should never be no such file that shuts your
computer off. Very odd indeed.
Try using the HTTP download if you used FTP, or FTP if you used HTTP:

Or try using another browser to download.

Might be explained if the program is designed to run under a special
environment, hence my question. Very odd, though.
