Macbook 2.26 pro new and takes 20secs to shut down with snow

What apps are open when are shutting down?

mine did that last night, it was a blue screen with the spinning dial at the the bottom. only did this once and now its fine though. snow leopard 10.6.2

try this software. It's freeware

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html

and try to repair the disk etc...
Especially, go to Cleaning and tick kernel and clean it

Hope you enjoy you nice machine!!

PS: Did you install any software?? Like anti-virse ?

So remove the program you installed and see if your issue is resolved. Be sure to delete all relevant files.

Just Safari shouldnt do that, I know other programs (iPhoto for one) does some kind of indexing before quitting during a shut down, and I am sure others do as well.

Something is not right, thats for sure
