This is just what I do myself. Whether it is the correct way or not, I don't know but I've been doing it for years with no problems. If I'm at a bank, PayPal, or any other site that has my personal information on it I ALWAYS log off/out. If I am at a site such as CNET, my MSN group, or any other website that does NOT have my personal information on it, I NEVER log off/out.
Is it important to Log Off a website when finished? For example, I sometimes forget to click "log off," after doing my on-line banking. Does it really make any difference at all? But, I guess that "log off" button is there for some kind of reason. Sometimes when I forget to log off, I will log on again just so I can officially log off. This must be silly, but I feel more secure afterwards. What's the purpose of logging off? For example, is it important to log off after using this Cnet website? I'll be interested to hear from some Log in/log off experts. Am I the only one that's curious about this? I'm embarrassed to ask. But this is a super-informative forum, so I guess this is the place to ask a dumb question. Thanks ahead of time. I guess I'll, uh, log OFF now -- but why?
