I use windows xp, and within the last 2 weeks or so I
have been having to hit start, then click on turn off
computer, then click on turn off 2 times before my
computer actually does turn off. I have ran a couple of
adware detection programs and also have Norton antivirus
detction. I don't think it'll hurt my computer but it
sure is troublesome.
Thanks for any help
 
Disable ad-watch (you mentioned Adaware specifically, so I suspect it's
running too), do NOT let it run as a tray application, then see if the
problem goes away. After a loooong time of dealing w/ this same problem, I
came to discover that ad-watch is causing it. Once I removed it from
Startup, the problem vanished. I've since used the most recent version of
Adaware (6.0.181 as I recall), it seems to NOT have this problem.

Anyway, just a guess.
