What the hell is this all about ? , kinda freaked me out,first time its happened,pop-up came up,told me to save things and then proceeded to shut down and restart all by itself,did a virusscan and i had something called "hauntpc.exe" somewhere !! (which i deleted pronto ) are these 2 things related ??

thanks for any info..

Do you have any more info on the Virus name, look in the AV logs and see if you can get any more info as I cannot find anything relating to hauntpc!!

I'd guess you're on a network and an administrator has sent a remote shut-down command to your machine - is there anyone from IT who could be messing around?
