Microsoft.NET framework v1.0.3705 update preventing standby mode

My laptop performed an automatic update yesterday and I am suddenly getting
the following error message when the computer attempts to enter standby mode:
"The service 'Microsoft.NET Framework v1.0.3705 Update' is preventing the
machine from entering standby. Try stopping this service and try again".
How do I stop this service?

In reality, the installed antivirus is preventing the update from
finalizing the installation of the update.
Is the installed antivirus AntiVir ?

You must completely disable the AV from monitoring the system in order
for it to install. Go to Start > Run > type in

msconfig
Click OK or press Enter
Click the Services tab
Put a check mark in the box at the bottom that says " Hide All Microsoft
Services"
UNcheck each box that refers to the antivirus
Now click the Startup tab
UNcheck each box that refers to the antivirus
Click Apply, Close and Yes to the prompt to restart the system now

That *should* allow the update to finalize it's installation
IF it does, then go back to MSConfig and follow the steps to REENABLE
the AV on the Services and Startup pages.
Restart the system afterwards.

Thanks for the quick fix. It worked !
You hit the AntiVir straight on the head. I need to shut off auto updates
and manually update from now on with a disabled antivir.

You're mowst welcome, Jake. FWIW, I've only seen AntiVir cause an issue
with an update installing with this .NET Framework update. Not with any
others. Of course, YMMV <w>
