Speaking of Spyware. My son has some seriously bad sh!t on his PC. It is an older Gateway with '98 and it gets inundated with popups. You don't even have to be logged on and it gets pop ups! Check this out! Last night the PC locked up, so I turned it off. The computer turned itself back on and then some adware from Zone Pilattes started screaming on the speakers in the middle of the night. Man, I didn't get much sleep last night since my car alarm went off 4 times and the PC went on twice. I had to unplug the PC. Now, if it plugs itself in and turns itself on, It's going to be a little creepy.


I would enter the BIOS to ensure remote LAN is turned-off and that you have a hardware firewall setup before your broadband connection.
