Recently while online my flatbed film scanner turned on without my prompting. The Canon software turned on and loaded several screens, blocking the net page I was on. I cancelled the action and it repeated moments later. Even while I'm offline the same thing happens, which leads me to believe spyware has been planted in the scanner. What I am forced to do is to disconnect the scanner from the puter except when I am actually scanning something.

I have TDS-3, Spybot S&D and Spyhunter. So far, none of these programs has rooted out the bug when scanner is connected to the puter. Any ideas on how I can debug my scanner and stop this annoying action?

Thanks.
