Software / XP hangs during shutdown

« on: September 14, 2005, 05:39:02 PM »

I think that I have ridded all Spyware with Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta1 and Spybot S&D.  Still having the problem in shutdown hanging.  I have XP SP2 on there for some time (5 months). I cannot access the Windows update site via IE.  I think there lies the problem somehow.  Anyone know the innerds of how WU works?  Why can't I access the website, it just sits there and does nothing (but display the green status bar at the bottom of IE).

Thanks for any insight you may be able to lend.

Can't reproduce the problem when in Safe Mode.  Any ideas on how to pinpoint the exact problem.  I'm guessing Spyware but Microsoft Anti-Spyeare Beta 1 and McAffee scans coming up dry while in Safe Mode (will try again in User account).  Any suggestions welcome (other than reformat and start over).
