I heard that happening with some anti virus software.\nTry shutting down after deactivating the software.\n\nIf that doesnt help try finding out if its a hardware problem.\nGet a program called "end it all" which will close down all running applications and your computer should shut down, if it doesnt then its a hardware thing.

try a system restore.

Sounds like something is running in the backlground. Try using Winpatrol to see if anything is running after you have closed all your programs.\n\nBefore attempting to remove malware you must switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just \nrestore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.\nRun your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads \nbut before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.\n\nThen beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it.

No, I've never had that error but I'm going to suggest something that you can try.  Try uninstalling AVG in safe mode.  To get into safe mode either press F8 repeatedly until you get a boot options screen at the BIOS splash screen and select Safe Mode or within Windows go to Start > Run type msconfig, press enter and then go to the BOOT.INI tab and select SAFEBOOT, click OK and restart, you will then be in safe mode.  Now try to uninstall AVG.  I'm not saying it will work, I'm just saying it's something you might try.

i dunno about the lock-up thing.. but the shutdown thing MIGHT BE the infamous remote procedure call error (RPC) (that is.. if u r using XP).. It would give a countdown before shutting down the pc. It is becos of a goddamned worm. Try running an antivirus scan to flush out the worm.
