warning message when shutting down

[Bruin]

My wife is getting the following warning when she shuts down her computer:

"Other people are logged on to this computer. Shutting down Windows might
cause them to lose data.
Do you want to continue shutting down?"

She gets it about 50% of the time she shuts down.

Scary.

Hi,

This can occur when you run file-sharing software. The "other users" are
people downloading her shard files.

It can also occur if she is infected with a trojan (virus). ANy updated AV
program should be able to detect that.

I think that it will also occur with multiple profiles all logged on at
the same time when you shutdown.
