Computer will not stay in sleep mode

My computer wakes from sleep mode every 15 mins. The only way I can keep this from happening is to use zone alarm and stop all internet activity. It will still wake one time after I lock the internet, but the second time I hit the sleep button, it will stay in sleep mode until I go back online.

This problem started after I backdated my computer clock, about a year ago, (hoping to get information out of a program that had expired). Since then I have used the system restore disks and restored my computer to no avail. I've checked everything that I can think of that might be trying to access the internet, but can't find what it is. I would appreciate any help.



HP pavilion a730n, pentium 4- 3 GHz, XP Home SP2, 1.5 G DDR 400, 200 G SATA HD, on board video and sound, AVG free v.7.5.432, Zone Alarm v.6.5.737.000, DSL internet connection.

I'm afraid sleep mode was the wrong term. It should have been Standby mode. Sorry.
