I can't access the log you posted at megaupload.com.
Windows Update needs to update the Windows Update Agent from time to
time. Perhaps that's what's occurring:

The WU.log shows which V. of the Windows Update Agent that is installed:
2008-10-15 11:50:22:834 3712 a5c Misc =========== Logging initialized
(build: 7.2.6001.784, tz: -0700) ===========
If the build: is a lower Version than what is required, it *should*
attempt to update it. This updating can fail if security software does
not allow it. Perhaps it's attempting to install on Shutdown as said sec
software is inhibiting it's installation whilst it's still running ?

If you check Automatic Updates in the Control Panel, you'll see this:
(Turning on Automatic Updates may automatically update Windows Update
software first, before any other updates.)
If you don't Trust Windows Update to update the WUA, the only recourse
you have is to turn off Automatic Updates.
