Computer slow to shut down
Hi,
Am running windows XP home on my PC, all up to date with latest service packs installed, and windows updated regularly. AVG antivirus, adaware SE and sybot used on a regular basis along with AVG rootkit detector and Windows defender.
My problem is when I shut down the PC it takes ages to shut down.. maybe 5 sometimes 10 minutes. The taskmanager shows no programs running, and checking the processes running doesnt show any using CPU power.
The shutdown process is working but very slowly. Thee is no internet activity during this time, and the HDD is not whirring, I am open to suggestions as to what this is being caused by, before I reinstall th O/S.
Grateful for any help offered.
