Answer by LoryOne for Can a malware power on a computer?

The WOL packet has a particular structure; Is not said it could be sent on internet or routed on intranet to reach the target.A computer is powered off when the alimentation cable is disconnected or is connected but switched off.The RTC wakeup is nice, but i suppose it could be used only on sleep mode.In my personal opinion some SMM firmware features, if not properly configurated and some of them disabled as default, could be potentially dangerous for remote management.The best choice is unplug internet cable or disable wireless card until you're not sure to have sanitized your pc by the virus infection.
