Don't worry about virus' or malware being the culprit. When your computer is
off
NOTHING is executing.
But modern BIOS' have wake up settings, that when enabled, allow a computer
to be automatically started when activity is detected in certain types of
hardware.
If you have a modem installed an incoming phone call can boot the computer.
If you have an always on broadband internet connect, such as highspeed
cable,
then anytime your isp tries to communicate with your computer, the ethernet
activity
will wake your computer.
Disable the Wake On ... event in your bios.
