It's quite possible you unknowingly have a lot of junk on your computer installed after visiting some websites. This is known as "spyware". One course of action you can take is to download the program Ad-Aware, found at www.lavasoftusa.com ... it will search for spyware on your computer and get rid of it, possibly helping with shutdown time of your PC.

Unplugging your pc while it is trying to shutdown will cause damage to your hard drive. You might consider trying going here http://iolo.com/ and trying out System Mechanic 6.0. It will autodefrag your hard drive, remove unnecessary files, and speed up your systems boot and shutdown time. It will also clean spyware and clean out your system's registry file safely without damaging your system. The program is easy to use.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.

you may have too many things loaded. but windows is getting huge and it takes at least 40 sec for mine so maybe your processor is a factor.
norton is a drag on a system, too.

Check the startup programs, and stop unwanted services, from the startup
