I would like to know if anyone has had problems shutting their computer down
We had server problems a week ago and that seems to have been put right, so they say.
This site is about the only one I go on most of the time and just wondered.

One of the best ways to keep your PC free from worms and infections is to use the following free site. It's easy to download, and if you run it regularly you'll never have a problem.

Now for shutdown problems.
Look on the bar at the bottom of the screen for any programs left running which will slow shutdown. But sometimes computers just will not shutdown at all. Don't be tempted to just cut the power off at the plug. Wait five minutes just in case. Press and hold the power button in for about 10 seconds and this will force a shutdown.
Computers do take a long time to shut down if you have updates running in the background. So don't panic if it seems to take a long time.
A quick alternative is to use Hibernate.
For Hibernate go to Start, (You know that makes sense).
Click the mouse on 'Turn off computer' at the bottom.
Press and hold the Shift Key and Standby in the little window in the centre of the screen will change to Hibernate.
Keep holding the Shift Key and click on Hibernate, then let go and the computer will quickly shut down. Don't cut off the power until it has finished. Be patient. Watch the green Disk Drive light and don't cut power until after it goes out.
Restart as normal.
