Programs Opening on their Own?
Not sure where to put this, so if theres a specific section please feel free to move it.
I just got my fiancee a new computer. Its a Windows 7 Ultimate. HP Pavillion. I've been using his computer to render out 3d scenes while I work on others using HomeGroup. On the first of this month, I had his computer render out a walkthrough for a scene that took most of the night to do. It was shut down after that and has been shut down every night when my fiancee goes to work and when he goes to bed in the morning after graveyard.
But since then, his computer has been opening the program - 3D Studio Max - on its own, randomly. It did it just recently too. He hasnt touched it because he was playing a video game. It will open it in a very small window and usually its off to the side, off the screen.
The computer is brand new, just got it a couple weeks ago. Anti-Virus is obviously up to date and wont expire for 2 years. Runs a scan any time the computer is idle, runs a full scan every week, so we know the computer is clean.
Never had a computer do this before, so we're a little baffled here. Any one know the cause and how to make it stop?
