I leave my computer on all the time. During the night I have set a number of programs to search for updates and schedule automatic maintenance during my sleep hours. I have my monitor set to turn of after 10 minutes to conserve energy. I have never experienced a problem that could be related to being always on. I am connected to the internet via cable and have my firewall and AV apps running to prevent intrusion by malware![]()
is it really bad for a desktop to be running overnight?
