A power controller in a PC is always on. If that power strip detects as little as 5 milliamps, then it would not power off other receptacles.
Replace a computer connection with a 7 watt and later with a 100 watt incandescent bulb (not LED or CFL). To discover what that power strip sees as power on and power off.
