Mac Pro 2.66 powers itself up after shutdown

Question

Hi,
Just wondering if any other mac pro users out there have encountered an issue where by your machine powers up of its own accord after shutting down. I have switched off the wake for ethernet access and restart after power failure tick boxes in the energy saver prefs to see if that was the problem but it still happened. I'll try zapping the pram, and see how it goes.
I can only think that it happened around the time I installed DssW Power Manager on my machine. I used the uninstaller that came with the software so it should have been completely removed from my system.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Hi Hatter,
This a copy of the terminal instructions that the uninstaller performed:

Could it be the frameworks?
FYI the DssW Power Manager software for "automated power management". So that you can schedule appropriate times to put itself to sleep say if you forget to do it manually.
You mentioned about the connected devices, I have an Elgato TV tuner and a Firewire 800 connected external hard drive (which I turn off when the computer is shutdown).
I'll try the safe boot now.
Thanks in advance.
