Inserted older 2Gb flashdrive (generic?) into Toshiba Satelitte L500 laptop running Windows 7
ESET (Smart Security 4 All-in-one Internet Security PC Download Version) scan started at 6:29 PM
Then screen went black - user quickly removed flashdrive in fear of bug in system

"Closing programs and shutting down"
CANCEL button - when selected nothing changed/happend
Lower RHS desktop time / clock displays 6:33 PM - even though several hours have now passed.
Internet was not being used at the time - although regular updates are applied to software (ie MS OS, Eset) whenever we go on the internet.
We have never had anything like this happen before - would appreciate advice / suggestions
- not sure whether to do forced shut down / hold down power button on laptop.
