Is it possible for people to look at you through your computer screen? Fibre optic surveillance or something like that?

Whether I am using it at the time or not, my computer shuts off and starts again. I have been directed to the microsoft website for the "cure" many, many times to no avail. Microsoft says that it is caused by my smartlink modem and I need to install service pack 2. Done that and it didn't help. Any ideas?

This message says, "Updating your computer is almost complete. Your computer needs to be restarted for the updates to take effect. Windows will restart your computer automatically in 1:29 minutes. Do you want to restart your computer now?" Choices: "Restart Now" and "Restart Later."

If I hadn't just pressed the latter, I wouldn't have even gotten to finish posting this question. About 10 minutes or so from now, that moronic message will come up again. If I'm in bed by then, I'll wake up in the morning to a rebooted computer! Whether or not I'd still been online. There really NEEDS to be a *third* choice that says: "NO!! Don't you DARE restart my computer without my express permission, and don't you dare ever present me with this message again. EVER!." (Unfortunately, there isn't such an option available.)

HOW in the world do I get Windows to STOP doing this unwanted **crap** to my computer?!?

If a PSU says that its wattage is 500W, does it mean that it will consome the whole 500W even if the total consumption of your computer is just 350W?

Or the 500W means that the maximum output is 500W?

I have a fairly low powered Acer Laptop - Travelmate 2414WLMi using a Celeron m processor 380/40Gb Hard drive and 256DDR2. I have fast Broadband.
This was used by my daughter initially but is now being put to general use - no gaming/downloading etc. Mainly used for internet trawling.
I have cleaned up the system by using defrag etc (yes I know its not perfect) so there is nothing to stop the machine working at a "reasonable" speed. However it is very slow and when I checked, AVG was using from 15% - 50%+ of processor power.
This doesn't appear right so has anyone any ideas as to how to speed this up.
Oh - there were a number of Microsoft updates waiting after activating it after a few months and a few "failed" for no apparent reason. One was Net.1 which means nothing to me. Could this have caused a problem?

if somone were to inundate the market of a certain item they wanted cheap with fake items on different fake accounts? this would spread the demand across many items (most fake) leaving the real item desired available at a low price. I understand this is unethical but is it illegal?
