Computer Switches On.................

Dec 29, 2004 4:02AM PST

My wifes home computer switches itself on. Any ideas why?

It's running WindowsME / Norton AntiVirus / AVG7.0 (Free) / ZoneAlarm.

I've run SpyBot and a couple of virus checks, including Stinger. SpyBot pulled up 'DSO-Exploit' and the virus checks indicate nothing.

Regards,

Wolvspa.

..You posted a good link and it's certainly a worthy solution for "Wolvspa" to pursue.

Hope this helps.

Since you posted on Newbies, read the thread and answers but don't try any fixes till one of the Moderators answers,as you can mess up the computer.
