From: William B. Lurie on 13 Apr 2010 14:39 Well, certainly not on any kind of dial-up basis. In the past, on specific occasion, I have granted remote access to Symantec on-line-chat-technical help to allow them to fix software problems. But do you really think they are in any way accessing my machine and causing it not to hibernate? Remember, I am doing all these tests with my machine isolated from the outside world. Specifically, I guess those 'services' can be Disabled, to remove any such worries. Unknown wrote: > PSQLWGE (your services) is Window Workgroup Engine.
