All right, there's a few possibilities. First of all, if you're on a Mac, you don't really need to worry. They're virus-proof, so it shouldn't be a problem. If not, don't panic. Certain computers have programs integrated into them (much like smartphones) that will run automatically and attempt to connect. It's sort of surprising that they happen ONLY at midnight-ish, but even then, it's probably just a background program. So if you have a Mac, you should be fine, and if not, you can download Microsoft Security Essentials from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/security-essentials-download.
