Can't get out f Vista Shutdown

I installed a Vista (32 bit) update and a Malicious software tool
update. After update installed allowed Vista to shutdown. Shutdown
achieved stage 3 of 3 configuring updates went into shutdown and now PC
just sits Shutting Down. I let it go for 18 hours and nothing. I
manually shut down the computer and it goes right to the stage 3 of 3
point and begins to shut down. I tried booting with last known stable
configuration and in safe mode but they all go right back to the stage
3-shutdown loop. Help how do I get out of this. I'd like to be able to
restore my computer to the day before I installed the updates but I
can't get the computer to boot up all the way. I have an Upgrade copy
of Vista which I understand isn't a bootable disk so I stuck. Any one
have any suggestions?

That seems like an SP2 issue. that is a know issue with SP2. The best bet is
to restore to a previous restore point then install the prerequisite to SP2
then MANUALLY install SP2. You may have to re-install...

Did you even try booting from the DVD?

I do have Windows Vista Home Basic Upgrade Retail and I can boot from it.
