PC locks after 10mins - No screen saver set or powerplan set

A friends PC locks after about 10mins , and I could not find the setting to stop this activity

NO screen saver is on

The power plan for the PC when on mains , which it was, is all set to NEVER.

She just leaves the PC on , walks away and then when she returns , she get a black screen with "switch user" to log back in

No passwords used, No domain setup - just a domestic windows 7 PC, which when started goes directly to the desktop screen.

where is the setting to stop this happening

I checked against another PC for power options, password on wakeup, but her PC is not set to sleep on any setting, I can see - so that should not be an issue - also as she does not have a password,was not sure it would help

I'm sure its just a simple setting somewhere , i cant find ....

Shes a little concerned because just recently this happened and the PC completely locked , she took to a repair shop, who unlocked, and also said this lockout may have been caused by AVG 2012

so we removed AVG 2012 and put avast on

thanks
