Default XP shutdown
System: XP home SP3, Anti Virus: Avast File, Backup: Seagate utility on portable hard drive.

Up until about two weeks ago simply clicking on the "Turn Off Computer" icon followed by clicking on the "Turn Off" icon shutdown my machine. In the intervening period both the antivirus and backup software have been automatically updated. Following their updates I now have to repeat the "Turn Off Computer"/"Turn Off" procedure twice. Nothing seems to happen first time round.

I have run the Avast virus checker, MalwareBytes and SpyBot Search and Destroy and all show my machine to be clean.

Any ideas as to why I am now having to go through the shutdown procedure twice? If so how do I fix it?
