Hello,

We have a lot of PC's in the n/w for different users. The anti-virus etc are programmed to be updated during night. Now there is a thought that if we go for hibernation , we can save a significant amount of power.

There is a view that if a machine is infested and switched on later, some viruses have a far higher tendency to spread into n/w while booting. In this context, is hibernation same or safer?

Ideally we are looking at power saving while retaining the current amount of safety.

All pointers are welcome.
