re: automatic close down and restart Saturday, June 30, 2001 at 12:18 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve Krol (9 messages posted) Hello, The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear your story is that someone installed a backdoor on your computer. If that's the case, whenever you are online, someone can shutdown your computer remotely when they wish. I would recommend getting a virus scanner, updating to the most recent virus definitions, and then running a full scan of your system.
