Not Bill Gates...it's me. I'm trying to get a message to you: Either
reconfigure the software you installed with the drive so that it doesn't try
to access the Internet (to look for updates, perhaps); or go into your BIOS
and turn off 'wake on LAN'; or be sure that your computer really is powered
off when you shut down for the night.

I'll bet you thought that your computer is turned off just because you press
the 'power off' button, you foolish person, you. 'Au contraire'...go to
Control Panel > Power Options > Power Schemes tab and find out what the
power off button really does. (Not to worry - you can easily change its
behavior.)
