i leave programs open on my pc then click on switch user when im done so no one can bother my windows session (yes my account is passwor protected lol) then i leave the pc on overnight.. and im 100% certain no ones turne dit off or restarted it and sometime when i reenter my windows session/account.. my program(s) that i left open aer now gone/closed and the stuff that starts automatically when windows starts, start opening up as if i had turned off or restarted the pc... why does that happen and is there a way to fix it?

Hi antoine,

A bit of investigation is needed here, but it's most likely an overnight task you have running there.

See what's going on, by going to Control Panel, Administrative Tools followed by Event Viewer, and see what events show up between the hours you go to bed, and the times you come back to your PC. If your unsure, right click on the "Application" category, and save your log file, so that it can be posted back here.

Hey Antoine, the second one you posted only contains the first few fields of the log, the rest are missing. This doesn't happen every night does it? Would you say once a week, say, every Thursday morning? At 3am on a Thursday morning, McAfee does it's update, which requires a reboot.

id say everynight if not every other night

I can see the update service running every night, but I can't tell from the logs you posted if they are restarting your PC or not, will need you to post the System logs as a .txt file the way you did on your first post. There's too much information missing from your last one.

If it is McAfee, I'm not sure where you would want to go from there. If you stop it from updating, then your not going to be protected from any new virus's. You can reschedule these updates to take place a different times??
