Hi

Have you tried a System Restore back to a point before the problem started?
Try the following articles regarding shutdown on Jim Eshelman's web site:

http://aumha.org/win5/a/tshoot.htm

Also try the following programs to check for any spyware that may be on your
system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://forum.aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip
Spy Sweeper - www.webroot.com

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:
