system("cls"); error in C

[7enlightenment1]

i use system("cls"); to clear the screen of my console..

recently,something happened which made my computer shut down everytime a system("cls"); code is found at a program.

really need ur help to fix this.

i ran virus scans/anti spyware-malware etc..
but still,result is futile.

Check CMDs MD5 hash and do not use systemcls in C there is a good Windows API to do that kind of stuff =)

Hope that helpd.

Instead of using the system() function try using clrscr() instead.
be sure to include system.h

bet of luck to you.

This may sound weird....but are ANSI bombs still in use??? that might be what the problem is?
Everytime you give the command or a program gives the command cls it could be instead issuing the shutdown command. due to an ANSI bomb.
Im not positive about this but I guess it is a posibility. I would look into that if I were you!
