Hi Alan, Darlene,
If the problem is indeed Norton Anti-Virus, go to Options--Auto
Protect--Advanced Settings, and remove the checkmark next to "Check
floppies when rebooting". That will eliminate the Shutdown problem if
it is caused by Norton.
I am in the middle of restoring a friend's computer that did not have
Norton Anti-Virus, and suspect that Norton would have protected it from
what appears to have been a virus. I would not lightly recommend
getting rid of Norton.
