Hi all
when i come to turn off my pc it simply wont let me and i have to un plug it every night. I go to the start menu click turn off and nothing happens i dont even get the turn off menu pop up. The cursor changes as if it will open the menu but it just does not.once i waited for 15 minutes or more and the turn off menu did appear however this is the only time it has, i've had this problem for a few daysa now and it's driving me mad- thanks for anyhelp you can give.

Try uninstalling it and then test to see if you can shutdown successfully. We can give you advice about (imho) better FREE anti-virus.
