Just sitting here surfing, and suddenly I get a screen that says "Locking your computer" and brings up a login screen. My login is not password protected, so I click on the User icon and I'm back in. WTF?

Virus.



Trojan, maybe.



Sounds like BankerFox.a



Do a System Restore from Safe Mode, Quick! Then Virus scan.



eta––Oh, wait, BankerFox takes you to "porno.org" not login.

It would be very hard for me to hit the Windows key + L, as the windows key is currently in the drawer of my end table (tore it off in a fit of rage while playing a video game )

I was sitting here reading a post, fingers not near the mouse or keyboard, and it just happened.

Funny, I tend to act as if the Windows key doesn't exist.   Never bothered to learn what the fuckin' thing does.

It clicks "Start".

This is one of the reasons I run Linux

I'm sure there are back-doors into MS Windows

By "not doing anything" do you mean sleeping at your computer and by "Locked" do you mean green text that says "Wake up Neo..."?



Because, yeah, that's happened to me before.
