Once the internet drops and if it is someone over the net controlling it, then it should stop right then and there. If it keeps on going then it isnt someone on the net controlling it but instead a program on autopilot.

Sorry guys I forgot to report back. I did a factory reset to my wife's laptop and then removed the superfish thing as the first order of business. I got all the backup files restored to it and everything is running fine.

Thanks you guys are great! :smiley:

Yes, a clean slate is the best way to get rid of any on board infection and thanks for the update.
