I have Windows XP Home Premium & just yesterday started receiving "Program
Not Responding" messages on shut down. At first it was ezSP_Px.exe, then this
morning I also got it and Webroot Spyware not responding. Earlier in the day
I updated all programs, scanned with Pcillin, Webroot Spyware, & Window
Washer, ran disk cleanup and disk defragmenter. Before I did all that I
hadn't been receiving the message. I don't have Symantec products on the
computer. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Windows XP does not come in a 'Premium' edition, but Windows Vista does.
Could you please check your version of Windows -- is it XP or Vista?

Can you think of any clues to explain the behavior you are seeing? Any
recent changes to software or settings? Any registry cleaners or other
fixit-type software?

In case you are unsure how to do this (the OP):

- Find the "Windows" button on your keyboard.
- Press and hold it down and then press the R key (in other words - press
both keys at the same time.)
- In the "Run" window that should appear, type in:

winver

And click on the "OK" button.
- That should bring up a new window. At the top a picture tells you what
version of Windows uyou have and underneath that - the text provides the
exact version...

For example, you could have:
Windows XP Professional Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236 :
Service Pack 3)
or
Windows Vista Ultimate Version 6.0 (Build 6001: Service Pack 1)
or something totally differet.

I have Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 (Build
2600.xpsp_sp3_dgr.080814-1236:Service Pack 3).
The only changes I made were the updates to Spysweeper. I haven't used any
registry cleaners or other fixit-type software.
I followed Spysweeper's instructions to boot into safe mode, uncheck "load
Spysweeper at startup," reboot, then update to latest version.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I have XP on one computer and Vista on another so I get confused.
On the computer in question, I have Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1
(Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236: Service Pack). Thanks.

Similar problem here with tavsvc.exe (Trend Micro AV). Seems to only do it
after I've been using IE online, and, I immediately disconnect from
internet. Then, shutdown. Does it in restart too. Usually, if I wait a
few minutes before shutting down, there's no "not responding" message.
Guessing the built-in anti-spyware is still sniffing for a few moments after
IE is closed. Just a guess.
