i shut down my pc and it said someone was still logged on. Whats up?

Answer 1

Someone is using your machine. It may be you yourself if you have done a lot of things at a time. Tasks have not yet completed.

If so, you just wait until it completed and the machine would follow the shut-down procedure.

If it was not you, then unplug the power. After 15 minutes, you can reboot your machine. Then update the security suite and do a full scanning.

Answer 2

could have been 1 of several things (assuming you are using windows XP or 2000)
1 - you are using Fast user switching and someone else jumped on your computer, then walked off without logging off.
2 - you had been using remote assistance and the session was killed unexpectedly
3 - you are using file sharing and someone had tried to get a file from your computer.

easy way to tell on windows XP about who is currently logged in to the computer is to use "CTRL+ALT+DEL" to bring up task manager and click on the "Users" tab.

You are not telling us if your computer is connected on a network or not. If it is, a couple of the people that answered you, make sense but if it is not connected to a network then something else is going on. Something like an Internet bug or your PC needs a good and thorough maintenance clean up.

HOW TO DO A THOROUGH CLEAN UP:
Before doing any of the maintenance steps outlined below make sure that your system is free from viruses and/or of any other undesirable Internet bugs, by running a thorough security scan of your machine.
Now, do the following as needed:
“I” (FOR WINDOWS XP-IE6)
While you are connected to the Internet do the following:
1. Click on tools ... Internet options. There you will see three buttons next to each other... “Delete Cookies” ... “Delete Files” and “Settings.” Also, below the settings button you will see another one “Clear history.”
2. Click on “settings” - go to “Edit” - Click on “select all” - Go to files, click delete and wait till all Internet trash files are gone.
3. Go back and click on “delete cookies” and wait till all cookies are gone
4. Go back and click on “Delete files,” put a check mark on the little white square shown on the small window that will open, click OK and wait for a little.
5. Go back and click on “Clear history”, click “yes” and you are done. Go to item “III” now.
ADDITIONAL INFO.: Here is how to clean website addresses from you IE6 browser bar: While you are connected to Internet, go to “Tools” … “Internet Options,” “Content” tab … “Auto Complete button” … click on “clear forms” and you are finished.

“II” (FOR WINDOWS XP-IE7):
Go to Start … Control Panel … Internet Options. Under “Browsing history” click “Delete” and then click “Delete all,” put a check mark in the little white square and then click “Yes” and you are done. Go to Item “III” now.

“III” (FOR BOTH WIN-IE6 AND WIN-IE7)
1. Do a check disk and a defrag, then restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. It is assumed that you know how to do a check disc and disc difragmentation.
2. If the above steps don’t do the job, here is a little program that keeps your machine in shape and free from Windows micro-problems that lead to slowness and crashes:
Get on the web and go to http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/site; download the free trial program, familiarize your self with it and use it to clean up your registry automatically along with a sort of other helpful and useful maintenance chores. It is an excellent little program and does wonders with PC maintenance tasks and I strongly recommend it! It works on the background on its own automatically.
3. After you are through with the above maintenance steps, go to Microsoft/Windows updates and download any and all available and/or applicable updates.
Hope this helps!
