    My computer has been locked up by the defender because someone’s try to use my IP address to visit sites without my knowledge and is screaming at me to call you. How do I get this to shut off and can you help me. Thank you Dorothy.

    :)

    Random Auto-Locking of Computer Screen

    Nobody suggested checking out Event Viewer?

    When your computer randomly locks, search for, and open: Event Viewer

    Under Windows Logs, Check out:
    • Application
    • Security, and
    • System

    See if you can find something that states anything that could be related to your computer locking. The newest events are listed at the top of each section, so finding an event log would be pretty easy to find. Hopefully we can find what is causing the computer to lock.
