yes because some of them knows how to turn the computer on and off.they know how to monitor computers.

LOL Yes that ON/OFF button can be tricky =)

However, I believe you were asking if other people can turn off your computer from their computer (from across city, country etc.)

Yes and No:

No this is not physically possible.

Yes it can be done with viruses, programming scripts.

But the most likely and easiest way is with permission base software such as LogMeIn and CrossLoops, which are remote assistance programs that you would first need to install on your end (computer) and then "Grant Permission" to the person assisting you.

I know this because I have done this 100's of times assisting people with their computer issues, as a computer support specialist for Dell On Call and Norton Symantec.

I hope that this puts you at ease, safe computing & Surfing.
