My comp is on 24/7 now that i'm on campus and nothing has happened. But i do scan my comp daily for viruses and run Adaware and Defrag once a week to make sure its running smoothly. Then i do a restart. But after that... its good as new

The only problem with leaving your computer on overnight is that your prone to getting viruses
I know it seems crazy to think that even with windows XP when you're COMPLETELY logged off that you can't get a virus, but I got one on my computer. That Trojan thingy that you have to erase your harddrive for unless you want to pay a lot of money for a special trojan remover. So I HAVE to turn off my computer whenever I finish using it |
