Can P.Cs turn themselves off?

AS it says above but there is a secondary way: it can turn off due to some programs like DVD Shrink has a feature that will allow the PC to automatically turn off after the process or whatever the program should do is done.

Yes.  And some browsers have Javascript turned off by default.

That question does not make a lot of sense. There are no programs on a computer that cannot be controlled by someone. You can turn the computer off, thereby controlling them all.

I'm pretty sure this is done automatically when you install Microsoft AntiSpyware tool, but I can't figure out how to turn it off (:-().\n\nIf you have Microsoft AntiSpyware installed, go to the Advanced Tools section to change your home page.

Not unless a timer has already been set or some other parameter to make it go off.

Right click on your desktop.  Go to Properties, Display, Screensaver, Power.  Do the drop down for 'standby' and have it say NEVER.

just leave it on.\n\nthat's my answer.  but you do have to edit your power preferences so your computer doesn't turn off after 2 hours of non use.  other than that, I don't know.

To turn off Active X controls:  Open Internet Explorer. Go to TOOLS, then INTERNET OPTIONS.  Then go to SECURITY then CUSTOM LEVEL.  You are there.   Scroll down and turn things on and off at will.

You can not turn it completely off. It is there for emergency purposes only.

Nope - turn off the monitor, though, because that consumes a lot more power than the computer itself. Leaving your computer on is actually even better for it, because most failures happen when you turn it off and back on.

Hold the power button until the computer turns off

It could be a 'wake on lan' event.  Depending on your computer, OS, and network adapter, search for that to find out how to switch it off.

Assuming Windows XP...\nGo to the start button and click on Run\nType in: msconfig\nClick on the Start Up tab\nYou will see a list of programs that are loaded when your computer starts up\nUncheck boxed (and reboot) until you find the one that controls the pchnotify.  You can recheck any of the boxes to turn things back on.  You will probably find several things you can turn off that you don't really need to load all the time.
