I would just add that after you do that, do a complete virus scan. Who knows, you might have a trojan or some sort of malware. Nowadays, virus' are not made to hurt your machine, it's all about money now; so they are made more to try and hide themselves and "use" your machine as a gateway etc when you're not using it. Or just look around your machine for info they can exploit somehow.
Also, you can do a double check with your virus scan by going here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/en/home/us/home.htm
You can do a free virus scan using thier site. Trend Micro is pretty cool and reliable and is a good double check as not all virus scan programs are the same. Different ones will be better at catching certain virus' than others.
Hope that helps.

I'm glad you found the problem.
I would continue to "monitor" the situation just in case. >.< :P

Check your settings in your bios and see what is selected.
There are usually options to turn on by network activity, mouse, keyboard, etc.
I don't think it is posessed... If it were, your printer would be sending you messages to read when you woke up.... (devil)
