I ran into a similar problem recently, although I only got the error
message when I wanted a full reboot, or boot into ms-dos. I deleted
McAfee (at someone's suggestion on this group), and, even though McAfee
had been on my system for a while, and the problem had only been there
for a week or so, it rectified itself. If you haven't got McAfee, then
I'm stumped, you may try checking out the Microsoft Knowledge Base for
their shutdown troubleshooter.

I had exactly the same problem until three days ago. I was asking
anybody on the net how to get out of this but nobody could tell me as
it seems there is no much knowledge about the operation the system
performfs before shutting down.
I solved this thing casually.
I used a beta release of McAfee Viruscan, when I upgraded the release
to the final version and scratched the beta... the problem was
settled.
So my suggestion is to check the beta you are running and trying to
get rid or upgrade  them.

Well, I deleted McAfee and it took care of the problem.
One must assume the problem is with McAfee software.
They probably put their own bug in it for those who don't register it.

I've been getting the same message when I tried to shut down Win95
also.
When I started in the safe mode, I got a message stating  that the
Boot Record had been modified. I too have been running McAfee for some
time with no problem. I just recently have been getting the protection
error when shutting down.  I'll try deleting McAfee.  
Is this a common problem? Any other suggestions if this doesn't work?
I've also noticed lately that when I boot up, some of my desktop icons
aren't where I left them. I've done a virus scan with two anti-virus
programs and negative both times.

I had the same problem at my work place.  I finally called microsoft
and they told me to chage my mouse driver to the "Standard Mouse
Driver" instead of the driver for the logitech mouse... So give that a
try and give me a reply back because I might have something else, but
I will have to check on a couple of things......

I,ve had the same shutdown problems with McAfee. Try unchecking the setting to 
scan on shutdown and maybe set it to scan program files only. Overall, I've 
found the problem erratic. I'm gonna go to the new Norton AV and try it.

Just to add fuel to the fire;  
At work we experienced the same error.

Removing the load at startup function for Mcaffee took care of
our error
also.

Don't know if this works 100% of the time but try setting Mc Afee to
scan executables instead of scan all files

I have had the same problem.  Look at MS Knowledge Base article Q145926 for
procedures to try.  It help me to find that one of my BMP files was bad. 
Good luck

	MacAffee used to give me 'Tonya virus resident in memory'.  I asked all
around no one including the people at "Advanced Concepts"(Here in
Redding, CA never go there if you really expect them to follow through
with their warrenty, they wont).  The guy there even went so far as to
try to convince me that a virus could remain resident in RAM after the
computer was shut off(He also suggested using the dos debug).  Anyway I
bought the program and the manual said that that was a common bug...  Is
it just me or was that a ploy that worked?

your problem is caused by Mcaffees  VShield.   go into properties and
set it to check program files only.    it doesnt harm your computer -
merely a nuisance.
