O.P. Shutdown Times
recently my shutdown times have increased from 20secs-1min to 2-3mins, its really pissing me off and im not joking, it really does take two or three minutes.. Im wondering how to fix this, or improve these times..
Before shutting down i always exit all programs so that all thats left running is my creative sound mixer, norton and the system processes..

anyone have any ideas or tips?

RE: Shutdown Times
can your remeber what date you noticed it slow down, if so, try a system restore from before that time, also try a spyware scan from a scaner like "SpyBot - Search & Distory"(try the scaner first)

might also be a good idea to do a virus scan

RE: Shutdown Times
a process is probably taking longer to shut off, this might be because of a virus, or spyware, or something like that.
try looking in your event viewer for anything odd

RE: Shutdown Times
it might be IE7 beta, since it is a beta it is bound to have a few problems, and this might be one of them
