auto starting

[BJPSG]

I've noticed my computer auto starting at times, on about five minutes then
off again. I worry about someone trying to get into my computer. I run
norton's about once a week, no virus detected. Just don,t know what it's
doing, or how to find out. I just recently got DSL it's on all the time.That
is what's worrying me.
I'm pretty sure it's not Norton's update.

Good call, try a spyware check?

If you mean that you've shutdown your computer completely and it's restarting
of it's own accord, it could be a setting in your BIOS. Some BIOSes have an
Auto On or like feature, supposedly useful for ppl who work...have a look
there...hopefully it's nothing worse than that...
