Win 7 starts by itself in middle of night
I went to fix an internet connectivity problem for a client of mine. While I was there they told me the computer will start up in the middle of the night. They assured me that they had turned it off in every case, but would see the light from the screen during the night. Thinking they had been hacked I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran a scan. It found nothing. In the summery I noticed that MBAM didn't scan for rootkits so I started but could not finish because of time. The computer is HP and fairly new. They have Skype and are using an add on Logitech camera. The couple is in there late 80's early 90's and not very computer savvy, so it's reasonable that they could have been conned into downloading some kind of malware. Can anyone point to something that could be responsible for this anomaly?
Thanks, Dave
