Actually I think I have Bit Defenderitis...

I had my virus checker set to update every 30 minutes or some such nonsense (it was a new install and I hading configured it), I noticed while I was typing another board that when it kicked in to do its update it would minimise the browser.

Anyway to cut a long story short I have set the software to update once a day during the early hours and I havent had the problem since.
Not sure why it rebooted but as long as the problem is gone I am happy.

Some virus updaters automatically reboot the computer to complete an update. Perhaps that was the case with your virus program.

Its a posibility although it only ever happened when posting here, I could be online all day and it wouldn't reboot until I tried posting.

Even while posting elsewhere it only ever minimised the browser.

I am not overly worried about it but there does seem to be an odd interaction between my comp and this site.
