    Hello! I recently had trouble with a computer virus and one of the Majorgeeks helped me get rid of it. But ever since then, I noticed my computer will not go into sleep mode. I have it set in the power settings for the display to turn off in 3 minutes and the computer to sleep in 5. It will never do it. Any suggestions?

    It's a custom build. The monitor will go to sleep, yes. But the system itself will never go into sleep mode on its own. In order for it to sleep, I have to manually do it from the start menue.

    I'm thinking it's a process running.

    If you stop the following process do you still have a problem?

    Code:
    avshadow.exe                  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\avshadow.exe" avshadowcontrol0_00000670   
    netsession_win.exe            "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Akamai\netsession_win.exe"
