I shut down my PC and in a few minutes it boots itself back up as if its been switched on normally, any help? I have a LAN connection enabled would this restart it?

It could be that you are mistakenly clicking on "restart" rather than "shutdown" but if not, it sounds like you may have picked up a virus. Are you running anti-virus software like Norton on McAfee? If so have you updated it recently? Either update it and let it scan your system or install that type of software. Once I got a virus when I didn't have Norton and I first had to reformat my hard drive before I could install the anti-virus software. I hope you don't have to go that route. Good luck!

When you shut down a box open first for options. Be sure you have Shut Down checked and not Restart. This all I know.

no the LAN has nothing to do with this. go to control panel/power options/ when the box comes up click advanced at the bottom of the page is 2 boxes make sure both say shutdown.

You have a virus. I had this on my last PC. The LAN has nothing to do with it. Do a virus sweep and clean (or have) your hard drive & you'll be fine.

I can't believe that when you were typing this question, that Yahoo! Answers didn't suggest some previously answered questions that were the same. Do a search here on Answers. That question was probably asked 10 times in the past week.

i dont think your LAN connection affects it, most likley youve got sum viruses on your computer. Goggle and download "Ad Adware SE Personal" and "Spyboy- search and destroy". they are both free.
NOD32 is probaby the best antivirus, but it cost quite alot. Buy un can get it from http://rapidshare.com/files/24951968/Eset.NOD32.AntiVirus.v2.70.16.WinXP.Final-nsane.rar.html.
Just click free, and download it. "Requires WINRAR to open the folder, google it if you dont have it)

Virus ftw.
Scan your computer with a virus checker, and then ruin its puny pathetic miserable digital pixable life. Have fun!
