    Nah, I don't think so. It's just restarting.

    I've determined that it's happening every other day, at 4:50 A.M. or thereabouts. Must be something messed up in the update mechanism recently. But apparently not Windows Auto Update.

    It actually reminded me of a virus that was in the news a while ago, it sent itself around to random IPs but had to restart the computer due to some network limitations after a while. That was the only thing the user would notice IIRC.

    If it always happens around the same time it may just as well be something else though.
