Well, my computer lately has been acting up. With KNoppix I have been accessing the internet, then when I am finished, I shut it off. I have dial up. I kept the phone line connected to the wall from the computer. and a few hours later, the computer mysteriously starts up by itself. I got suspicious after this happened EVERY TIME I TURNED THE COMPUTER OFF WITH THE PHONE LINE IN, AND I eventually, a few days ago, unplugged the computer from the phone jack. The computer has stopped starting up by itself. Has my computer been hacked. Is a hacker somehow accessing my computer even when it's off?
