When you install remember to disable your AV.
Hang on a minute and I'll send you an IM.

After a long hard look this is looking like a possible conflict with BitDefender.

From our exchange:

I got rid of the AVG Anti rootkit and that didn't make any difference so I got rid of BitDefender next and now the computer shuts down properly.

The only problem now is whether to put the previous version of BitDefender back or not. For your information the version of BitDefender that was causing the problem was BitDefender Antivirus 2008. They have several "2008" products and I was using just the Antivirus 2008.

When I installed it I just double clicked on the file that I downloaded. Perhaps I should have done it in safe mode?

It would be worth it IMO to see if installing it in safe-mode will resolve this.

Hi,

If anybody has been following this thread, and especially if they use BitDefender 2008. you might like to know that it was BitDefender that was causing my computer to hang at shutdown and require unplugging in order to turn it off. There have been, apparently, a lot of problems with the latest version of BitDefender so I would suggest that it is not a good idea to upgrade to BitDefender 2008 just yet.

The solution to this problem is due in no small part to ~cat~ who has been very helpful with suggesting various things to try in order to resolve the problem.

The solution was due to your willingness to work at it. 
Good work and thank you!
I'll mark this as resolved and lock 'er up.
