Shutdown/Restart Delays

Hello!

Occasionally both of my computers on my home network will experience a delay in shutting down. It can happen during normal shut down or restart. However, there are no delays or issues during a cold boot. Once they are up and running, everything works fine.

I'm posting a HijackThis Log from both computers. If anyone has time, look them over. Any and all recommendations, suggestions or ideas are most welcome.

Those logs are about as trim and clean as it gets.

Try disabling the AVG-AS guard process.
