   It's happening to me also on two WinXP Pro SP3 machines.  I down load the   
   next request and it install them (3 updates) and then even after I completely   
   shut off the machines, the shield is still in my sys tray.  I've downloaded   
   the updates 4 times on one machine to no avail.  If I look at my recent   
   downloads on the upgrade site, it says I downloaded the three files   
   successfully.   
      
   I'm just going to live with it.
