I am having an intermittent problem shutting down applications; i.e. Excel
and Word. On occasion I can't shut them down from within the application
and, when I try to do so using Task Manager, I fail. The 'END PROGRAM NOW'
message comes up but it doesn't. I just get that message, over and over
again. I can't shut down the machine using the Task Manager or the Shut
Down commands. I've had to actually pull the plug. Any ideas on what I
could do or what might be causing this?

You are not doing good by unplugging the plug to turn your computer OFF,
over the time this will Kill the Hard Drive totally!.
You need to make sure your computer have enough Disk Space and how much RAM
you have on your system?.
When the last time you run Disk Clean Up and Defrag on your machine?.

For Malwares download both these software:

http://www.safer-networking.org ; for Spybot S&D
Also try to Run Disk Clean Up by Double Click My Computer
to open it, hen Right click your C:\ Partition and select properties.
On the Drive Click Disk Clean Up Button, then Defrag in Safe Mode.
HTH.
let us know.
