I caught my PC at 5am this morning (when it should have been asleep), with activity going on on the hard disc, although the monitor was still in standby. To the best of my knowledge nothing is scheduled to wake the PC and do something at that time, although if it is updating the antivirus (Avast free) or MSE protection service of some sort, I would not mind.
When I looked as well as I can at system events, the only thing I could find was a reference to C:\program data\microsoft\windows\DRM and system time changed and some reference to Device\netBT_TcpIp where it generated a log which appeared to report trying to get an IP6 connection and failing. I used to have a BT broadband, but no longer do, and never knowingly installed any BT software.
Any one able to suggest how I can find out what is happening, or should I shut down the PC at night, rather than put it into sleep mode as I have always done before?
