Shutdown always says installing 1 update

Windows XP Support >> Shutdown always says installing 1 update The topic says most of the story, Have a new laptop that exibits the
following behavior:

1) The updates available icon in the taskbar is NOT being displayed
constantly.

2) At shutdown, it always displays the install updates and shut down option,
indicates that it is installing 1 update, and we repeat the process every
time i turn the machine off.

Norton Internet security is what it has on it for A/V and such ... not that
Norton would EVER cause an issue like this one ... LOL!

Thanks in advance for any ideas. I'm not afraid of working in the registry,
but I don't have clue one where to start looking, and blindly poking around
in the registry is not a good strategy
