Access When PC Off

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Hello Everyone,
I have a couple of basic questions. I have 2 desktops setup on a wireless
router for internet access and setup for file sharing. All works quite
well. My questions are: If PC 1(mine/wired to router) is completely
shutdown and router disconnected from the internet via status page in
router, can someone else possibly get into my PC(not knowing passwords) and
change the date and or time to break into my files? I found in event viewer
that the time and date was changed 3 hours after I shutdown and disconnected
from the Internet in the router in the security section. Can PC2 on the
wireless workgroup I have get into the files after PC1is shutdown and
disconnected from internet again via status page. I'm a bit at a loss on
this,seeing that my time and date were changed! Any responses would be
welcome.

Thanks in Advance

Many PC's can be setup to Wake at a specific time in the BIOS, many UPS
systems will wake a PC, there is also Wake On Lan that can wake a PC
across the network.

Frances, I have solved the problem. I very recently downloaded Microsoft
AntiSpyware Beta1. When I went to download the updates my clock and date
changed. I'm not sure how to explain that but it did. After bootup the
next day the time syncronized itself by internet time and I never noticed
the entries in the event viewer. Thats is where I found the culprit, in the
applications viewer that the download had put an "!" in the viewer that told
me that the clock had changed. Again I thank all of everyones efforts in
these News Forums for there knowledge and time to help us correct our PC
problems and pointing us in the right direction.

Thank You All
