    Just what are these computers doing now when you shutdown?
    How about Starting back up too?

    Let's determine what's going on so we can give sound advice on a solution.

    I think you are referring to W32.Magistr.24876@mm, right?

    Did you add any new Virus Scanning software to clean the machine? 90% of the time I find shutdown problems are related to Virus Scanners.

    Last week we repaired viruses on three machines. This week, each of them have come back with additional problems, we assume caused by the viruses.

    We're starting think that the only REAL fix (meaning one that won't come back on us) is format/reinstall.

    Check out article #Q242191 on the MS Knowledge Base for error messages caused by MTX/Matrix virus.
