I had some friends in the past leave their computer on and online on a
website they were checking out all night and they all had to clean the drive
and reinstall but they all had PC's and this was happening about 4-5 yrs ago
when everyone was getting cable internet... Another thing that isn't good to do
is download your e-mail to your computer via Outlook etc etc etc... I always
check my e-mail in webmail (on earthlink's website in my case)... I'm not sure
how all this works (hackers spyware phishing) so I don't take any chances... I
never had any problems in the 17yrs I've been using computers and surfing the
internet, my first computer 1993 Mac Performa 475 with that old time ph modem
your had to lay your ph on and it would take around 2 hrs to get online...
