    That means I will type my password again and after that the network will be a known net work again.

    Could virus or a Trojan be the cause?

    I Don't Want to Auto Connect to Wifi

    Hey Anfor,
    I would try what MrHudson suggested ... Forget your WiFI network, then when you setup it next time don't check the connect automatically option. Other than that I'm outta ideas, sorry I couldn't help.

    Google chrome web data file was being found as a malware, when I disinfected it the problem was solved, no more auto connects. I had to also remove the search engines from chrome://settings/searchEngines so that chrome web data file did not reappear. The problem seems to have been solved for now.
