Google Alarm
Mar. 4th, 2010 04:13 amSo I'm laying in bed trying to sleep and my computer comes back from sleep mode all by itself. Nothing touching it, I'm the only one in the room and I certainly didn't do anything to it.
I noticed the hard drive light was flickering, which meant something was reading or writing.
No one on the network was trying to connect, so that wasn't it.
Then I remembered that this happened once before, a week or so ago. So I open the Task Scheduler and take a peek.
Computer turned on at 3:50AM, so I look for something, anything, scheduled around that time that might be the culprit.
Google Update.
Set to load the process everyday at 4:29AM, and repeat every hour for a 24 hour period to check for updates to Google software. Last run 3:50:05AM.
I disabled the task now. Hopefully that should eliminate the problem once and for all.
