    This is the same problem that I have got. Have now discovered the update that won't install is a security update KB928366 Microsoft.Net Framework verison 1.1 service pack 1 - whatever that may be!

    Each time I try to shut down, computer keeps trying to install update, but it just will not install. I have emailed Microsoft about it and will wait and see what they say.

    No problem with automatic updates before this.

    I had the same problem. I got round it by uninstalling the .net framework v1.1 completely to get rid of the update.
    Computer still working OK as far as I can see.
    If you also have the 2.0 and 3.0 versions, you should be OK.

    Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.

    Fingers crossed I seem to have resolved the problem. Managed to do a system restore back to a week ago and the horrid shield thing has disappeared. Have now switched off automatic updates and asked them to let me know when new updates are available and I can then decide if I want to download them.

    Does anybody know if Security Update Microsoft.NET Framework version 1.1 Security Pack 1 is important? This is the one that caused all my problems because it just would not install. Number was KB928366 and appears to have caused problems to a lot of people.
