 Internet security - should I switch off? - FocalPoint
I have read that it's a good idea to switch off your computer when it's not in use, since all the time it's on it's vulnerable to attack.

Is this true? And, as someone who sometimes goes out leaving my browser open, am I making matters worse by so doing?
