Infected with something ?

Running IE and XP.

One of my last actions before going to bed is to switch off the PC, so last week I was surprised to find it running when I got up one morning. Didn't think too much about it then, maybe I had inadvertently clicked on Restart instead of TurnOff the night before.

This morning while I was getting breakfast I heard the XP Welcome jingle and sure enough, the PC had just fired up on its own again before I had touched it.

Are there any nasties out there that can turn on the PC in this way ?
I am using NAV on auto update, run Adaware and Spybot regularly and have not noticed them finding anything different recently.
