browser security
I’ve seen this question asked a few times, but don’t recall ever seeing a definite answer. Is it safe to leave your computer with the web browser open, or can hackers use this open browser to gain control over your computer while you’re not looking? Or does the fact that you have always-on broadband mean that they can get to your computer anytime it’s switched on? Is a computer in hibernation the same as a switched-on computer?

Re: browser security
Yes it is safe. But just to be even safer don't leave it on a page with adverts. Ads leave cookies & some are unsafe.
If a hacker wants to get access to your computer - he will do it regardless of whether or not you have a browser open. |
