  I have had four "serious" shutdowns in the past 24 hours. I have not
changed or added any programs. I found an entry in MSCONFIG for dumprep. Not
being familiar with it I searched the internet and found this entry at:
http://www.2-spyware.com/file-dumprep-exe.html

Described file dumprep.exe is not related to the security threats.
However the same or similar file name can be used by spyware or adware
programs to decept user. We advice you to scan your computer and eliminate
possible threats. download scanner and remover

Is this file really a threat? Or used maliciously?
