Q: |
Sat, 27 Aug 2016 - should I leave my computer on 24/7 or turn it off |
|
|
A: |
It's entirely up to the user. If one thinks he/she has a legitimate need to leave the computer on [e.g. runs a server] and doesn't mind the increased electric bill and wear/tear on the computer hardware, leave it on. Others prefer to give the computer a rest and save electricity. No right or wrong. |

using panda virus should windows defender be off? |
|
|
A: |
The windows defender needs to be on if you are using the free version of panda as it does not offer the firewall option only the paid for version does and that switches defender off automatically see https://support.pandasecurity.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8... |
