restarts that are not restarts

some programs installed, from download or disk cause my system to shut down
instead of restart when they require a restart for the desired applications
to take effect. is this caused by the program, my computer or some hard to
find virus, worm, trojan, I am worried that something not good is beginning
to make an appearance since this a home built system, completed a week ago
 
I am suprised i received no response to this question. well once again
problems with Norton products were the root of my despair. I had previous
problem Symetic System Works, or a similiar name about 8 months ago. on my
old Windows 98SE system it would install fine or at least appear to but
evntually create runtime errors with other programs and applications so i got
rid of it. now it seems the trialware download i installed from Norton,
firewall and AV, was not allowing my system to restart automatically, every
restart had to be restarted by physcically pushing the power button, but once
i uninstalled the trialware of the Norton AV, my system now restarts on it's
own when restart is required. i ununstalled norton AV because of the
dissapointment in seeing an infection from adware once again, it seems Norton
is too slow on it"s live updates for it's firewall and Av, but i wonder how
the adware got by Windows firewall unless my auto updates is not functioning
properly
