Norton security suite blocks windows xp shutdown

Windows home 32bit sp3 (clean reinstall 10-13).  Was workimg OK before clean reinstall, reload, install and activate Norton SS.  My other installed programs are firefox (only one installed when problem appeared), thunderbird and revo uninstaller.

I guess I could live with this, powering down to shutdown, but I would much prefer a solution.
