I'd recommend shutting your computer off entirely to save on power
consumption, as well as to prolong the life of the machine itself. As to the
risk of being hacked, it's all relative. A machine that's turned off can't
be hacked, so if the machine is on, you naturally increase the risk. That
said, your machine remains as protected during sleep or stand by as it does
whilst in use. That's nothing to do with the state of the machine, just how
good your firewall etc. is.
Good advice, but not necessarily for the reasons given I should
think.
Léonie.

Subject: [access-uk] Interesting Lecture on Standby/Sleep
Hi all,
I've just had an interesting lecture off my girlfriend on what we should do
to our computers at night. According to her, we should shut it down to save
both memory and hard disk usage. Also, we could be hacked because the
Windows session hasn't really ended when we put our computers in standby or
sleep, depending on the version of Windows. What do you all think of this?
Full truth or a complete myth? I'd love to hear from you.
